Our Time Is Now: Power, Purpose, and the Fight for a Fair America

by Stacey Abrams

We are in trouble. But we do know what to do. America has always been a crucible for democratic innovation, and our hallmark is our willingness to learn and grow. Fixing our broken democracy stands as a foundational prerequisite to progress. Our work to achieve universal health care access, education parity, social and economic justice, and more—they each depend on the fundamental obligation that undergirds them all, eradicating voter suppression and ensuring that our elections are fair fights. Whether through supporting the Voting Rights Advancement Act in Congress, or advocating for ballot security on the local level, or holding every state-level candidate accountable for putting forth a plan to end this repugnant practice, together we can establish an electoral system that is truly democratic, where policies of, by, and for the people truly flourish. And, in the process, we can repair democracy itself.
