At #NATSEC2020 forum, @brhodes tells @staceyabrams that her SOTU response was the "single best speech we've heard" in past+ two years 
This is one of two national security/foreign policy-focused events that Abrams has in DC today. Also keynotes the @CFR_org Conference on Diversity in International Affairs later today
Abrams on fear as a strategy for "he who shall not be named": Key is to acknowledge concerns people have and offer solutions for it. "We’ve now had 3.5 years of fear as a governing ideal and it does not work."
Speaking on same panel, @MitchLandrieu says Dem needs not to depend on a base election strategy because "the next president is going to be the president of all America." Name-drops @PeteButtigieg as speaking "eloquently" to that effect
Abrams says her organization @faircount has already raised more money for Census efforts than what the State of Georgia has allocated for it
Abrams calls voter suppression a national security threat to the nation. "If we do not secure our democracy in 2020 ... we will be having a very different conversation, potentially in Russian, in 2030." #NatSec2020
