1. @staceyabrams “we are a mighty nation because we embedded in our national experiment the chance to fix what is broken. To call out what has faltered. To demand fairness wherever it can be found."

2. "Which is why on Election Night, I declared that our fight to count every vote is not about me. It is about us. It’s about the democracy we share and our responsibility to preserve our way of life. Our democracy – because voting is a right and not a privilege." - Stacey Abrams

3. "I stand here today as witness to that truth. This election is about all of us – as is the resolution of this moment. I acknowledge that former Secretary of State Brian Kemp will be certified as the victor in the 2018 gubernatorial election."
- Stacey Abrams

4. "But to watch an elected official – who claims to represent the people of this state, baldly pin his hopes for election on the suppression of the people’s democratic right to vote – has been truly appalling. So, to be clear, this is not a speech of concession."- Stacey Abrams

5. "Concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true or proper. As a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot concede. But my assessment is that the law currently allows no further viable remedy.” - Stacey Abrams

6. Let's find a viable remedy to voter suppression together.
As we get ready to celebrate the holidays we have a lot to be thankful for but even more to think about.

7. As you witnessed, voter suppression and voting issues were prevalent throughout the United States. How can we start shaping policy that will lead to equality, equity, and equal access if 'We The People' do not truly have a say in our Democracy?

8. For the next two years, The AWP (All Women's Progress Think Tank) will focus on solutions that eradicate voter suppression and voting issues while we raise capital to fund research and education that is dedicated to improving the lives of women and marginalized groups.

9. So rest up, enjoy the holidays, then join us in the New Year as we get ready to fight voter suppression and find solutions to voting issues.
