Hi, I'm Stacey Abrams. Let's face it, sometimes the world feels broken.

The Supreme Court hands down horrible decisions and cynical reactionaries celebrate.

Censeless tragedies break our hearts.

Good people stumble.

So we lose confidence in the system and each other.

And it's so frustrating because we can see what the world should look like.

Yet more and more it feels like the bad guys

are winning. Let me tell you something. They're not. They're just hoping we stop fighting.

I've lived my life with three objectives.

Be curious, solve problems, and do good.

In the worst moments, they've helped me focus on the work to be done and to bounce back

when others thought I should be shattered. And now is a time to defend our values and

protect the vulnerable, to stand in the gap and to lead the way. A time to know that

this democracy only works when we work for it. That's why I'm doing this podcast. I know that one piece isn't going to solve the whole puzzle,

but we have to put the different parts together. We'll break down complex subjects into digestible items.

We'll crowd source solutions and share stories of actions. On occasion,

we'll intentionally explore another point of view, which is also a step in the right direction.

We can't fix everything everywhere all at once, but we can each do

something somewhere soon. It took at least 10 years to change the trajectory of

Georgia and that's just when I got started. It might take a little longer for other challenges that we face,

but we're not in this alone. I'm here to introduce us to our fellow warriors for good and to strategize.

Success will be incremental, but I promise it'll be worth it,
