Stacey Abrams Uses Texas Floods to Tout Black Voices and Changing Political Outcomes

ABRAMS: “What had just happened in Texas, the fact that they slashed the National Weather Service, whether or not that was the direct proximate cause of those deaths, the fact that we’re having that conversation is the issue. The fact that we aren’t sure is the problem. And so we need to hold to what we deserve. We should not be dissuaded, especially as black women, as women of color, as people of color. We should not be convinced that we don’t have power. They are mad at us for a reason. There are enough of us that we can change the outcome of elections, but also change the outcome of power.”
