Democracy queen Stacey Abrams and the Black Lives Matter movement have been nominated to receive this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. More inside…
2021 is showing some glimmer of hope.
After making Republicans BOW DOWN at the presidential election polls, voting rights activist Stacey Abrams has been nominated for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize for her work to “promote nonviolent change via the ballot box.”
The Democratic party politician was nominated by a Norwegian lawmaker who recognized for her role in helping to register thousands of voters ahead of the 2020 presidential election and Senate runoff election in Georgia. It’s nice to see all of her hard work hasn’t gone in vain.
“Abrams’ work follows in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s footsteps in the fight for equality before the law and for civil rights,” Lars Haltbrekken, a Socialist Party member of Norway’s parliament, said.

Civil rights leader/pastor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. won the Nobel prize in 1964 after he was nominated a year before for his “nonviolent campaign against racism.”

The Black Lives Matter movement has also been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize. The global effort that has been fighting police brutality and bringing awareness since 2012 is being recognized for the hard work that has been put in.
Norwegian MP Petter Eide nominated the global movement "for their struggle against racism and racially motivated violence," he wrote in his official nomination papers, which were obtained by CNN.
"BLM's call for systemic change have spread around the world, forcing other countries to grapple with racism within their own societies," he said.
Forever President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009.
Stacey Abrams and BLM join a long list of other nominees, which include Trump, former White House adviser Jared Kushner and the World Health Organization. We’re not sure how Trump’s name ended up in the same sentence as the word “peace,” but here we are.

The work Stacey has been putting in obviously has Republicans scared because they have launched a stupid campaign called #StopStacey. A group of Republicans are trying to stop a potential 2022 gubernatorial run by Democrat Stacey Abrams.
If you didn’t know, Stacey was the Democratic party’s nominee in the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election where she ended up losing against her opponent Brian Kemp. The reason for her loss is mainly tied to voter suppression tactics. Now, the GOP is SCARED and they’re doing everything they can to keep her from running again.
The Hill reports:
The independent group, dubbed "Stop Stacey," says it will work to uncover what it calls the former gubernatorial candidate's "shady voter groups that undermine election integrity" and to "unite and mobilize grassroots Republicans across the country."
"We will do whatever it takes to expose Stacey Abrams’ radical network, highlight her dangerous agenda, and ultimately defeat her — and her left-wing candidates — at the ballot box," the group's senior strategist, Jeremy Brand, said in a statement. "There is no time to waste: We must stand up, fight back, and Stop Stacey.”
Stacey has them SHOOK! The fact she's living rent free in their heads like this already proves her remarkle power. She has already flipped the state of Georgia blue once after hand picking and recruiing Reverend Warnock to run for a vacant Senate seat. We can’t wait to watch her do it AGAIN!
