Join Us for a Virtual Keynote Address by Stacey Abrams
Stacey Abrams is a
New York Times bestselling author, serial entrepreneur, nonprofit CEO, and political leader. After serving for 11 years in the Georgia House of Representatives, seven as Democratic Leader, in 2018, Abrams became the Democratic nominee for Governor of Georgia, winning more votes than any other Democrat in the state’s history.
Abrams will address PBI conference attendees and guests virtually to discuss racial justice and voter suppression. She will follow her keynote address with a brief Q & A.
Abrams was the first Black woman to become the gubernatorial nominee for a major party in the United States, and she was the first Black woman and first Georgian to deliver a Response to the State of the Union.
After witnessing the gross mismanagement of the 2018 election by the Secretary of State’s office, Abrams launched
Fair Fight,
an initiative to fund and train voter protection teams in 20 battleground states, to ensure every American has a voice in our election system. Over the course of her career, Abrams has founded multiple organizations devoted to voting rights, training and hiring young people of color, and tackling social issues at both the state and national levels. In 2019, she launched
Fair Count to ensure accuracy in the 2020 Census and greater participation in civic engagement, and the
Southern Economic Advancement Project, a public policy initiative to broaden economic power and build equity in the South. Find out more about
Fair Fight.
