Celebs Congratulate Senators-Elect Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock

[bluestoplights]

2021 is looking up (knock on wood, toss salt over your shoulder, etc.) -- outlets are now projecting that Georgia Senate candidates Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock have defeated Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue! This marks not only an incredible victory in a red state dismissed for decades, and a repeat of the surprise upset President-elect

But also let's not forget that Stacey Abrams and the Black women that did the fucking footwork pulled this win off for Georgia and the United States. YOU BETTER KNOW THEM.

LaTasha Brown shared this last night and I almost started to cry.

This is the real win for us tonight. @cliff_notes and I have worked our entire life for this message. We created @BlackVotersMtr for this very reason.

Making people believe that their vote and their voice matters. That's how we win!

I love LaTosha, I could listen to her speak for hours -- every interview I've heard of hers has been so inspiring. it's no surprise she's been as effective as she's been with organising and getting out the vote.

Fuck just knowing, we'd better recognize that there are no Black women in the Senate (ya know, the one saved by Black women). We'd better recognize every time a Black woman is harassed or accosted or mistreated.

I am beyond over expecting Black women to save us but treating them like trash except to steal their culture and their talent.

Wow I just... whew the education that you laid before us.

Really tremendous work they accomplished and showing the power of grassroots movements. Instead of just complaining about voter turnout they actively addressed the issues preventing voters. I hope they inspire other activists to keep up the work

Stacey Abrams is truly amazing in her work

And she writes romance novels in her downtime too!!! Truly a Renaissance woman!
