Stacey Abrams

Like many Georgians, I’m disappointed that the MLB is relocating the All-Star Game. However, I commend the players, owners and league commissioner for speaking out. I urge others in positions of leadership to do so as well.

Stacey Abrams applauded New Jersey’s new law, in contrast with her home state, as taking the country in the right direction toward democracy.

It stands in stark contrast to Georgia’s Jim Crow voter suppression law, which faces mounting legal challenges.

I mean, if you look at the election, black people steered this election towards Joe Biden, I mean, in Georgia particularly.

Georgia Republicans’ shameful efforts to suppress the vote and seize electoral power through SB-202 demonstrate how critical the fight is -- for voting rights remains. Every business, political and civic leader must stand up and make their…

We did it by telling them a story about their power. That if they wanted relief from COVID, if they wanted access to voting rights, if they want criminal justice reform that is real, if they want policing reform -- these are the things…

These bills are nothing more than a pretext for returning to Jim Crow and stopping voters they don`t want to hear from. And my belief is that voters across this country when they see that their right to vote is being thwarted, we`ll do…

It is irresponsible for politicians and political leaders to simply pretend they don`t know or, when they learn, to try to gaslight the communities into believing it`s their fault that bad things happen.

these new proposals a redux of Jim Crow in a suit and tie

We cannot hope that the courts will save us.

When Republicans look at the changing demography of Georgia, they see the future of our nation, and they see that in competitive elections their only guaranteed route to victory is suppressing the right to vote.

We can fix the system because we already put the pieces in place by electing a Congress that can pass HR-1, SR-1, and HR-4, the For the People Act, and the voting rights -- the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act that together will…

I believe that we need to offer a narrowly tailored version of the filibuster that is grounded in the constitutional principle that there are certain responsibilities that only Congress can meet.

I understand why people may feel adrift because the hope was that the 2020 election and the absolute debunking of the lie of voter fraud would have solved the problem.

Stacey Abrams with us here live tomorrow night.

When you can win elections not by having the best ideas but by stealing the right to vote, then you do not deserve to win, and you don`t deserve to participate. So what we need is a call to action that not only stops these bills in local…

The For the People Act is so important to the Democrats` agenda, it`s dubbed H.R.1 and S.R.1 in the Senate.

I believe that, absolutely, business has a -- has a role to play.

If they can knock out pillar five and pillar four, we no longer have protections for our democracy. And that means Congress has to step up and act now.

The fundamental right to democracy is the ability to vote. And if there is nothing else that we would be willing to require simple -- of a simple majority to protect, it should be the right to vote.

We know that the current slate of laws that are being prescribed across this country actually take us to what looks like post-Reconstruction, Jim Crow era laws. And that`s not hyperbolic.

And the reality is, when you break democracy for anyone, you break it for everyone.

Congress has the power to set the manner, time and place of elections. And they should use that power by passing H.R.1 and H.R.4.

I do not. I think that this has to be done by the body that in the Constitution of the United States is given the power to address this.

When you can win elections, not by having the best ideas, but by stealing the right to vote, then you do not deserve to win, and you don`t deserve to participate.
