We're live-tweeting @ausgkpu, Founders, and @ausg_wi Present: An Evening with Stacey Abrams. #KPUxAbrams

.@StaceyAbrams was the May '19 School of Public Affairs commencement speaker. 'We're so excited to welcome Stacey Abrams back to AU tonight!... We'd like to think of ourselves as early fans...before the rest of the world quickly caught on to her gifts' Sylvia M. Burwell youtube.com/watch?v=CUOdnZ…

'[@StaceyAbrams] is the perfect Kennedy Political Union speaker... because she follows her calling to serve others... She's fascinating, tenacious, and a changemaker, in every sense of the world.' Sylvia M. Burwell

.@StaceyAbrams: 'I grew up working class/working poor... I grew up believing we needed to have some structure in our society that gave my parents access to what they earned, what they were capable of.' #KPUxAbrams

.@StaceyAbrams: 'When I didn't become [Georgia] governor, it didn't relieve me of the responsibility to keep pursuing the positions that mattered... One of the ways I was going to effect the changes I want was through voting.' So she started Fair Fight. #KPUxAbrams

Current students, faculty, and staff can join the webinar now: bit.ly/KPUxAbrams #KPUxAbrams

'The work we did with @FairFightAction was suing the state to say, you owe Georgians a functioning democracy... especially Black and brown citizens who stood in line to vote... Because when you cement democracy as a truth, the voices you hear are extraordinary' @StaceyAbrams

.@FairFightAction wanted to make sure citizens across the country not only had the right to vote, but that they 'knew what voter suppression look like,' @StaceyAbrams says. 'And by doing so, more people were able to make change.' #KPUxAbrams

.@StaceyAbrams emphasizes that @FairFightAction is not doing this work alone, mentioning the ACLU and other civil rights organizations. 'We convened, we worked together. We were proud at Fair Fight to convene these groups.' #KPUxAbrams

'Voting is not magic. Democracy is not magic. But it is the medicine we needed to cure the ills in our society. And it worked.' - @StaceyAbrams
