A mountain of debt at the voting rights organization of Stacey Abrams has resuIted in dozens of layoffs as the former Democratic gubernatorial candidate and election denier struggles to keep her pet project afloat. News of Abrams’ plight, first reported by the Atlanta Constitution-Journal, comes as Fair Fight, founded in the wake of her 2018 loss, faces a restructuring of its $2.5 million in debt. Finance records indicate Fair Fight has just $1.9 million in cash on hand.
Lauren Groh-Wargo, a top aide to Abrams during her second run for governor in 2021, said in an interview she will be returning to manage the cuts, which amount to between 25 and 75 percent of all staff.
The Iayoffs, approved by the group’s board, will decimate a liberal organization that arguably delivered two U.S. Senate seats for Democrats and helped President Joe Biden narrowly win Georgia in 2020. Fair Fight has raised more than $100 million since its inception.
Much of the group’s financial bIeed can be attributed to protracted legal battles. After True the Vote, a conservative voter organization, attempted in 2020 to throw out 250,000 voter registrations, Fair Fight pursued a court battle for more than three years.
Last week a federal court ruled against Fair Fight. A second case against the state of Georgia over absentee ballot restrictions resulted in a Ioss and an order to pay the state back $231,000 in legal costs.
With a swollen face and in casual clothes: This is what Adele looks like when she thinks no one is watching her
When the renowned and accomplished artist underwent a remarkable transformation, shedding weight and emerging almost unrecognizable, the public’s gaze swiftly fixated on her altered appearance.
Since that pivotal moment, the paparazzi ceaselessly seize opportunities to capture glimpses of Adele whenever she steps into the spotlight.
A hiatus from the stage, spanning three years, marked a significant chapter in Adele’s life, primarily fueled by the anguish of her painful divorce from her husband, the father of her son.
The emotional toll of this experience has left an indelible mark on her mental well-being, making it a topic she still finds challenging to broach without evoking tears.
In her latest public outing, clad in an all-black ensemble, Adele drew attention that resonated with fans and critics alike.
Photographers eagerly documented the presence of the extraordinary singer, yet it was her casual demeanor and the subtle swelling of her face that sparked widespread discussion.
“Is it just me, or has she regained some weight?” pondered one observer. Another admirer chimed in, acknowledging Adele not only as a gifted vocalist but also as a devoted mother and committed woman.
Yet, contrasting views emerged, with remarks like: “It appears as though she has just emerged from a funeral.”
In the ever-watchful eye of public scrutiny, Adele’s evolving journey continues to unfold, prompting diverse reactions and sparking conversations about body image, personal struggles, and the relentless nature of fame.
