Stacey Abrams: ‘Voting Is Not Magic. It Is Medicine’
There is never a time where Stacey Abrams doesn’t move a crowd to want better and to be better. On Saturday afternoon, Georgia’s Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams, implored the crowd at the 2022 Essence Festival of Culture to not let their apathy with the country’s current state distract them ahead of the 2002 midterm elections.
Addressing the progessive moments like Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, a Black woman, joining the Supreme Court, but also the more regressive moments, like, the overturning of Roe v. Wade Abrams explained how easy it is to forget exactly where the now blue state of Georgia was before the 2020 election.
“We had not only four years of Donald Trump, but four years of unfettered conservative assault on who we are and what we wanted to be,” she said. “You cannot undo the four years, which followed 40 years of an attempt to roll back who we are and fix it in two and half-three years. But what we could do is stop the bad from happening and that’s exactly what we did when we elected Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock from the state of Georgia.”
