Summary
As the Trump administration continues steering the U.S. toward far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist policies, Stacey Abrams has been on a mission to restore democracy in the United States. Abrams made her name serving 11 years in the Georgia House of Representatives and she was the first Black woman to run for governor as the nominee for a major party in the U.S. After losing her second bid for governor of Georgia in 2022, she turned her focus to fighting for voting rights and The 10 Steps campaign, a nationwide mobilization and education effort to encourage civic engagement. She’s also written more than a dozen books, including romance novels, thrillers, children’s books, non-fiction and memoir. We’ll talk with Abrams about her most recent books and how the nation can undo our government’s shift toward authoritarianism. Guests: Stacey Abrams, author, entrepreneur, and politician. Her latest novel is "Coded Justice." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
