landscape in this vital year? what can people look for from you, and how do they keep up with what you are doing? >> first and foremost, i'm always speaking up on behalf of democracy, because it is not about who is on the ballot but who has access to the booth. that is the work that will always underpin everything i do, regardless of who you are going to vote for, want to make sure that you have the right to go in, and that the right is protected but i will be fighting to make sure you vote for democrats up and down the ballot because i think we do a better job of promoting a strong economy, protecting our rights and people. and one of those defenses that i'm so focused on his protecting, defending and expanding diversity, equity and inclusion. that is an attack on access to the american dream, and as someone who has been privileged to succeed because of the american dream, i'm going to defend it for everyone else and always please support their fight because the fight for marcus he is never over. >> stacey abrams, thank you fore being at the national action
