In 2018 Brian Kemp successfully suppressed hundreds of thousands of votes to become the governor of Georgia, beating out Stacey Abrams. Suppressed: The #FightToVote uncovers the insidious voter suppression tactics Kemp and politicians all across the country use to stay in power. From poll closures to voter purges, these voter suppression tactics targeted majority African-American communities. That's what racism looks like.

It was a humbling effort to produce this video for the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) in honor of the 400th Anniversary of the arrival of enslaved Africans in America. We must never forget the tragedies, successes, and contributions of all African-Americans. The CBC has played an instrumental role in fighting for equality for African-Americans. The CBC will continue to fight for black America for decades to come. ABOUT BRAVE NEW FILMS Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films (BNF) are at the forefront of the fight to create a just America.
