What is the New Georgia Project?

Stacey Abrams, a Georgia gubernatorial candidate in 2018 and 2022, founded the New Georgia Project in 2013 to register Black, Hispanic, Asian and young voters and to increase civic engagement.

The group touted its success: It has registered hundreds of thousands of Georgia voters.

The New Georgia Project is one of several Abrams-founded groups that helped make her a formidable political force in Georgia and across the country. Her 2020 voter mobilization efforts are credited with helping Joe Biden become the first Democratic presidential candidate to win Georgia in nearly 30 years.

The group remains active in Georgia politics.
