A mountain of debt at the voting rights organization of Stacey Abrams has resuIted in dozens of layoffs as the former Democratic gubernatorial candidate and election denier struggles to keep her pet project afloat. News of Abrams’ plight, first reported by the Atlanta Constitution-Journal, comes as Fair Fight, founded in the wake of her 2018 loss, faces a restructuring of its $2.5 million in debt. Finance records indicate Fair Fight has just $1.9 million in cash on hand.
Lauren Groh-Wargo, a top aide to Abrams during her second run for governor in 2021, said in an interview she will be returning to manage the cuts, which amount to between 25 and 75 percent of all staff.
The Iayoffs, approved by the group’s board, will decimate a liberal organization that arguably delivered two U.S. Senate seats for Democrats and helped President Joe Biden narrowly win Georgia in 2020. Fair Fight has raised more than $100 million since its inception.
Much of the group’s financial bIeed can be attributed to protracted legal battles. After True the Vote, a conservative voter organization, attempted in 2020 to throw out 250,000 voter registrations, Fair Fight pursued a court battle for more than three years.
Last week a federal court ruled against Fair Fight. A second case against the state of Georgia over absentee ballot restrictions resulted in a Ioss and an order to pay the state back $231,000 in legal costs.

Regular consumption of this ginger-lemon detox drink is recommended for its long-term effects. While immediate results might not be noticeable, consistent intake can lead to significant benefits. It’s best consumed in the morning, but you can also carry it in a thermos and drink throughout the day.
Ginger, originating from Asia and known for over 5,000 years in both culinary and medicinal contexts, has gained popularity in Western countries due to its health benefits. It’s often associated with aphrodisiac, anti-emetic properties, and aiding in weight loss.
Lemon, a citrus fruit revered as the “fruit of the Sun,” thrives in warm regions like India, the Middle East, and the Iberian Peninsula. Despite its high water content, lemon is packed with essential nutrients, including a significant amount of vitamins like Vitamin C and B9 (folic acid), as well as trace elements such as phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. It also contains natural antioxidants called polyphenols and is known for its slimming and antioxidant properties.
When ginger and lemon are combined, their individual effects are amplified, offering an even more beneficial health impact. This drink not only supports weight loss and digestion but also leverages the extensive health properties of both ingredients.
