The presidential election has come and gone, but voter suppression and the activists who have fought to protect and reinstate voting rights are on our minds.

Emily shares the story of the rising star of the Democratic Party, Stacey Abrams.

Born in Madison Wisconsin, raised in Gulf Port Mississippi, and Atlanta, GA Stacey Abrams was not a stranger to voter suppression or social justice work. Georgia has a long and well-documented history of voter suppression.

Her parents were involved in the civil rights movement starting as teens and raised their 6 children to appreciate and understand the power of a vote.

Currently, in her impressive career, this creator of opportunity holds the roles of politician, lawyer, voting rights activist, and author. Her work to combat voter suppression has brought her name to the public eye recently. The praise is well deserved as Abrams is credited with 800,000 successful voter registrations prior to the presidential election.
