16:49Now Playing“They are targeting us intentionally.” Stacey Abrams warns Republicans are moving with speed to weaken Black political power before America’s demographic future changes the balance of power forever.
Stacey Abrams warns that Republican-led redistricting battles across Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and the South are part of a coordinated effort to weaken Black political power before America becomes a majority-minority nation. She describes the attacks on voting rights, representation, education, healthcare, and economic opportunity as a deliberate authoritarian power grab rooted in a modern “Jim Crow playbook.” Roland Martin and Abrams argue that massive voter mobilization, coalition building, lawsuits, and nonstop civic organizing are now essential to defending democracy itself. Abrams makes clear this is no longer a normal partisan fight — it is a battle over whether power will be shared or seized.
