Failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams’ nonprofit, Fair Fight, is laying off the majority of its staff, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Fair Fight, a group Abrams founded to combat alleged voter suppression in Georgia, will be laying off 75% of its staff and significantly narrowing its scope of operations, the AJC reported. The organization holds $2.5 million in debt but only has $1.9 million in cash, according to the AJC.

Salena Jegede, chair of the organization’s board, said that it faces a “serious funding deficit that makes our current trajectory unsustainable.”

Fair Fight raised more than $100 million during its first three years of operations

Fair Fight Action spent more than $25 million on legal expenses between 2021 and 2022. More than $9.4 million went to Lawrence & Bundy, a law firm where Abrams’ former campaign chair, Allegra Lawrence-Hardy, is a partner

An ethics watchdog had previously filed an IRS complaint alleging that Fair Fight Action violated federal law by focusing on promoting Abrams’ political career instead of its stated mission of protecting voting rights.

Fair Fight Initiative is a non-profit 501(c)(3)

Donations to Fair Fight are tax deductible

This is fuckin hilarious!

More recently, a court ordered Fair Fight Action to pay about $231,000 in legal fees after it lost a years-long case alleging voter suppression in Georgia, the Washington Free Beacon reported. In addition to compensating Georgia for its spurious allegations, Fair Fight Action spent more than $25 million on legal expenses between 2021 and 2022, according to tax forms.

This is what happens when you can't steal money fast enough to keep up with operations (i.e. your employees stealing from you.)

Once Al and Jessie pass, she'll be the face of 'black grievance & commentary' in America for all the major media.
