Sponsorship Information
America Votes State Summit 2019 sponsors receive special benefits for the entirety of the America Votes State Summit, including the Cecile Richards Progressive Leader Award Celebration.
Named for America Votes founding president and former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, this award is presented each year to an individual, or individuals, who truly embody what it means to be a progressive leader – those who fight with compassion and tenacity every day to make this country a better place for all of us.
We are thrilled to present this year’s Cecile Richards Progressive Leader Award to the Honorable Stacey Abrams. As an unwavering and movement-wide champion in the fight to protect our democracy from the rampant “War on Voting,” Abrams is an inspiration for all of us who seek to create change nationally and in the states.
After serving for 11 years in the Georgia House of Representatives, including seven as minority leader, in 2018, Abrams won the Democratic nomination for governor of Georgia, making her the first black woman to win a major party’s nomination in U.S. history. Abrams went on to win more votes than any Democrat ever in Georgia in her historic campaign.
And after witnessing systematic voter suppression in Georgia, Abrams most recently launched Fair Fight to advocate for fair elections and encourage voter participation to provide every eligible Georgian a voice in our democracy. Over the course of her career, Abrams has founded multiple organizations devoted to not only voting rights, but also training and hiring young people of color and tackling social issues at both the state and national levels.
We hope you will join America Votes as a sponsor of the State Summit 2019 to help us honor Stacey Abrams with the Cecile Richards Progressive Leader Award and chart the path forward for the progressive community.
