In her ongoing effort to share her Instagram with activists on the front lines of change, selenagomez turned the keys over to author/former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams
Selena Gomez poses on the red carpet prior to the premiere of 'Dolittle' at the Regency Village Theater in Los Angeles on Jan. 11, 2020.turned the keys over to author/former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams on Wednesday .
"Please meet Stacey Abrams . Stacey is a New York Times bestselling author, nonprofit CEO and political leader. After serving as Democratic Leader of the Georgia House of Representatives in 2018, Abrams became the Democratic nominee for Governor of Georgia, where she won more votes than any other Democrat in the state’s history," Gomez wrote.
Abrams, the first black woman to become a gubernatorial nominee of a major party in the U.S. -- and rumored to be on the short list for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's VP slot -- wrote about this important historical moment, urging activists to keep pushing forward as they demand meaningful institutional change.
"We fight for the right to be seen, the right to be heard, and the right to direct the course of history," wrote Abrams."Right now we are experiencing a massive cultural change, and history shows that we understand what is at stake: Power. The United States has always fumbled in its pursuit of social equality, whether it’s stories of police brutality or the invisibility of the disabled community and who we say we are as a country is not currently held up by how our systems behave.
