No matter what your otherness is, it is not an impediment, it is not a detraction, it is a source of power. - Stacey Abrams

The minute the elections are over, the people who won—who did not share our values—are going to be working hard. We have to be working even harder.

There is nothing inherent in being a minority that says you can’t have everything you want.

I’m proud to be part of a pantheon of elected leaders who, from around this country, found their voices and lifted up their communities. What we were able to do in Georgia was build an unprecedented multicultural, multiethnic coalition. We tripled Latino and Asian Pacific Islander participation. We increased youth participation by 139 percent. And we outperformed with African Americans and with white voters to numbers that haven’t been seen in Georgia before. And what that signals is that you can win in America, you can win in the Deep South, by talking to communities and engaging them where they are and treating them with the respect that every community deserves.
