Abrams was first announced as co-chair of the racist Black Voices for Black Justice Fund (BVBJ) in April 2021 and said in a press release that she was "excited" and "honored" to join the organization. She said it "puts Black leaders in the driver’s seat – with Black activists on the ground who understand how racism plays out in their community defining both the problem and the solutions."
But the Black activists on the ground better stay out of the road when the Black activists in the driver's seat go driving by.
The BVBJ gave out $20,000 awards to dozens of Black activists across the country to "use in whatever way they believe, based on their lived experience, will do the most good advancing racial justice in their communities at this pivotal time," the organization said.
Sharhonda Bossier, CEO of Education Leaders of Color (EdLoC) was awarded $20,000. Bossier had called for defunding the police during the mostly peaceful violent protests for thug George Floyd.
"It means nothing that these elected officials are expressing support for ‘peaceful protests,’" Bossier tweeted on May 30, 2020. "Their support doesn’t protect you. The police DGAF. The only support that matters is when they stand up to police unions, refuse to agree to contracts that provide more protections for police than the public they’re supposed to serve & defund the police/reallocate those resources. Demand action. Demand change."
"We can live in a country where the police do not kill people - especially children," Bossier tweeted in April 2021. "We spend SO MUCH money on officer training, etc. If we cannot expect that police can respond to incidents without killing people we should... DEFUND & ABOLISH THE POLICE."
Abolishing the police makes as much sense as screwing for abstinence. In both cases all that happens is you get screwed.
In May 2022, the BVBJ announced its fourth round of awardees, which included Kei Williams and William Jackson, among others.
Williams is a founding member of the Black Lives Matter Global Network, which repeatedly posted in favor of defunding and abolishing the police and prisons during the George Floyd unrest of 2020.
Jackson, another 2022 BVBJ awardee, founded the North Carolina-based nonprofit Village of Wisdom, which is aimed at helping Black students "navigate systemic racism," has also described himself as an abolitionist.
"I'm for abolishing police," Jackson tweeted in November 2020.
Yes, abolishing the police will help law abiding Black youth when the not-so law abiding youth shoot up the neighborhoods and crime, especially among the poor who cannot afford private security, surges.

"Stacey Abrams does not and never has supported defunding the police," Abrams campaign spokesman Michael Holloman lied in a statement Monday to Fox News Digital. "Stacey is a longtime supporter of investing in law enforcement, building community trust, and fostering law enforcement accountability."
And chicken will one day darken the skies over Georgia.
Believe actions over words.
