    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."

    As a black mom who experienced severe and life-threatening complications after the births of my two boys, I fully support the fight to end maternal mortality here and abroad.

    The racial disparity at play here is appalling. Black moms in the US are 3-4x more likely to die from complications from pregnancy or childbirth than white moms. Racism, not race, is the risk factor driving these preventable deaths. (4/8)

    Bad policies like the forced pregnancy bill are a direct result of voter suppression. If leaders can silence Georgians’ voices at the ballot box, they can ignore Georgians’ voices when in office. We will fight back in court and at the voting booth.

    “you have to pay a fee to access your fundamental right to vote” is a poll tax

    Replying to @jbouie
    That is, at best, a VERY misleading & intentionally simplified statement designed to provoke outrage. Calling it a “poll tax” is FAR from a majority opinion, it applies only to felons who didn’t have the right to vote AT ALL before this, & can be traded for community service.

    No surprise the editorial page got the facts wrong about their "myth." They cite Missouri and Iowa ID voter laws and say they didn't affect voter turnout in 2018. They omit that we challenged significant parts of both laws in court and won in 2018.
