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

(258,910 posts)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!

Thank you.
