She’ll need support in the way of Dems in the districts w/ Reps n state senators to get Georgia out of bondage..if I dare express it that way. Woman are not going to be treated equally w/ healthcare, insurance, jobs, etc. if this mindset wins elections in her state n ours. We all need to get out n vote

Stacey Abrams is one amazing and brilliant candidate, clearly the one for our time. And the people of Georgia need her, especially the women and those who support them, of course. And I've often thought of someone else who would be thrilled to see her take office - former governor and president Jimmy Carter!

I’m hoping the surrounding states see what’s happening n they get out n start demanding n running for office n it would be like a domino n the south could maybe catch up to the 21st century.... just dreaming but dreams do come true. We’ve got a good woman running to get the dem primary to oppose DeSantis. Ya never know

And we can't forget that the people of Georgia already elected Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff!

He really is amazing, Rachel Maddow called him "the most eloquent member of the Senate." And his opposition didn't know who John Lewis was....

For now, since I can't vote for her for governor (live in another state), all I can do is send donations.
Thank you.
