Since Donald Trump lost Georgia in 2020, Black women election workers and activists have faced a backlash from conservatives falsely claiming mass voter fraud.
Moss told the committee that she received messages “wishing death upon me. Telling me that I’ll be in jail with my mother. And saying things like, ‘Be glad it’s 2020 and not 1920.’”The committee played video testimony from Freeman, who accompanied her daughter to the hearing.
“You can’t get back the disempowerment that Black women felt from that,” she said. “The apathy that Black women and young people feel all over is based on this type of shenanigans. I don’t feel vindicated at all.” Troup county’s GOP-controlled commission requested their local state representative sponsor the law. It reduced the size of the board and changed how members were appointed.“Not at all. The entire board was abolished and the board was reappointed,” Mosley said, noting that Hollis didn’t reapply.
“I’m hoping that justice will be done to them because they have affected the lives of a lot of people,” she said. “Right now, a lot of people are afraid to vote.” “Black women have been the backbone for years of a lot of stuff: Of our families, of our churches. It’s kind of in our nature to do what it takes to make things happen, to stand up for what’s right,” she said. “This is about survival. And we realize that. If we don’t do what we must do, our children won’t have a future.”
