Former Georgia House Leader Stacey Abrams to explore voter suppression at Nov. 15 luncheon

Former Georgia House Democratic Leader Stacey Abrams will deliver a major speech on voter suppression one year after her narrow defeat in Georgia's gubernatorial race at a National Press Club Headliners luncheon on Friday, Nov. 15.

Due to overwhelming demand, the luncheon, initially scheduled in the Holeman Lounge, was moved to the ballroom. Ticket sales were re-opened to accommodate a larger audience.

Following her defeat by Georgia's Secretary of State Brian Kemp, a Republican, Abrams launched Fair Fight Action, and together with another advocacy group, filed a federal lawsuit seeking to overhaul Georgia's election system. The groups contend the current system impaired citizens' ability to vote in the 2018 gubernatorial election, depriving them of their constitutional First, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendment rights.

Lunch is served in the ballroom at 12:30 p.m. Remarks begin at 1 p.m., followed by a question-and-answer session ending at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $25 for Club members, who may purchase two tickets at this rate, and $39 for all other non-member tickets. Please click here to purchase tickets.
