The Atlanta Journal Constitution:
Once one of the most influential political groups in the South, the New Georgia Project is shutting down this week, marking a stunning fall for an organization that pushed to advance Democratic causes for more than a decade.
The New Georgia Project’s board of directors said in a statement Thursday that the organization and an affiliated action fund are both dissolving but encouraged others to continue supporting “values of justice, integrity and equity” that guided their work. “As we close this chapter, we recognize that the work of building a just and truthful world remains urgent,” the statement read. “This moment calls for strong and courageous leaders to step forward, guided by principle and purpose.”
Founded in 2013 by two-time gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and later championed by U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, the group once boasted a multimillion-dollar budget, a sprawling field team and an ambitious mission “to build power for long-term progressive change.” It was credited with registering tens of thousands of left-leaning voters who helped turn Georgia into a political battleground. But the New Georgia Project played a diminished role in last year’s election as the organization’s internal problems mounted.
The group has long been hobbled by internal turmoil, fundraising struggles and mounting legal problems leading to an exodus of key staffers in the run-up to last year’s election. In January, it agreed to pay a record $300,000 fine for violating Georgia campaign finance laws after admitting to illegally aiding Abrams’ 2018 gubernatorial bid by spending millions to support her campaign without proper registration or reporting.
Ethics officials say the fine has been paid in full.
Well, that’s it. The final nail in Stacey’s giant political coffin.
So, what went wrong for the big lady? The same thing that always goes wrong when the left tries to build a movement around personality instead of performance. The New Georgia Project wasn’t a grassroots miracle. It was a money laundering scam and a PR stunt dressed up as a voter registration drive, funneling millions into “progressive change” while quietly breaking campaign finance laws to help Stacey’s losing streak waddle along.
Once the money dried up and the investigations rolled in, the organization crumbled like a chocolate chip cookie in Stacey’s hand.
With her political machine dead, her “movement” bankrupt, and her credibility in ashes, Stacey’s now joined the long list of discarded DEI Democrat darlings from Beto to Kamala to whoever’s next in line for the spotlight. The left will just move on to the next prop, pretending these flops never existed.
One thing you can say about Stacey is that she’s a tried and true DEI failure. She’s a whiz at turning failure into a money-making enterprise.
🚨Stacey Abrams founded an NGO and got sent $2 BILLION taxpayer dollars a month later…. she founded 2 MORE!
She appointed her sister as President of one. Money connected to FUNDING STREET PROTEST GROUPS was also discovered paid through an NGO established by Democrat’s Tides Center
“Once Stacey Abrams got that money, just so happens that TWO OTHER NONPROFITS that she founded”
“It’s back dealing money laundering from nonprofits it’s funneling money into the pockets of Democratic activists, nothing more. Case in point.”

This is just further proof that Dems are not actually interested in fixing the country. All they care about is finding the next “chosen one” to sell the same failed ideas in a brand new shiny package. Stacey was their perfect pitch. Until she wasn’t. (Read more: Revolver News, 10/20/2025) (Archive)
