In this crucial historic moment and election cycle, we need Stacey Abrams’ voice for V.P. !
Stacey Abrams is a living legacy to John Lewis! Her voice is the strongest voice on voting rights at this time! Fair Fight/Fair Count are two organizations she founded to promote voter’s rights across the country! Additionally, she fights for equality in economic (see her organization Southern Economic Advancement Project), healthcare and justice realms .
The country needs a V.P. who can galvanize and mobilize the courageous protestors, activists and advocates for equality and social justice. The voices and votes of the young, POC are needed for their voices and conviction to uphold the values of this country! Stacey will galvanize young black people, those sporadic and unlikely voters who’ve given up on politics and our democracy. In her 2018, campaign for Governor, in the state of Georgia, she brought out a 136 increase in young, 43% increase in black, 3 times the Latinx and 3 times the number of Asian/Pacific Islanders than in previous elections. She also elicited more Democrat voters than any democrat candidate in the history of Georgia!
Stacey, along with Jon Ossoff, Rev. Warnock and Lucy McBath, are all committed to the legacies of John Lewis! Together, they can flip Georgia blue, as well as two Senate seats! At this time, with the Democrats, the young and POC voters, excited and motivated by Stacey Abrams, there is a tremendous opportunity to flip the state blue, pick up a Senate seat, and protect Lucy McBath’s seat! It is time to dismantle the GOP’s racist “southern strategy.” But we need Stacey on the ticket to have the best shot.
Voter suppression will be the #1 issue this year. Nothing else matters if our votes are suppressed! Joe Biden needs a partner on the ticket who can inspire people to cast their ballot! We need Stacey to clearly articulate the stakes and tell people how to protect their vote.
Joe also needs someone he can trust, someone who is loyal and someone young that represents the future of the country and party. Stacey is it! She’s loyal, dedicated, committed and strategic in the work she does.
Between the Bidens, the Obamas, Oprah, Hillary and others in the Dem party, if we come together behind Stacey, the national party will follow!
We must expand the map and include the New American South in “restoring the soul of the nation” on Voting Rights, Racial Equality and Justice. The voting power of the South should not be overlooked, once again for again, for the Midwest. It is time to cast aside the racist GOP southern strategy. It is time for the Democrats to truly embrace and support the needs of their southern constituency. We’re on the precipice of change here!"
Our time is now!
