The resignation call follows numerous Fox News Digital reports
on Stacey Abrams' involvement with the Marguerite Casey
Foundation

Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp on Thursday called on Stacey
Abrams, his Democratic opponent for the 2022 election, to resign
from a radical foundation that backs defunding the police.

Abrams serves on the board of the Marguerite Casey Foundation, a
Seattle-based grantmaking group, which has also called for
abolishing law enforcement. Abrams supported an expanded anti-
police initiative from the group shortly after joining its board.

"Stacey Abrams is lying about her own record on public safety -
a record that is completely out-of-touch with Georgians," Reagan
McCarthy, deputy communications director for Kemp's campaign,
told Fox News Digital. "Abrams currently serves on the board of
a foundation supporting the Defund the Police movement and has
profited over $50,000 from the group."

THAT SUPPORTS #ABOLISHTHEPOLICE

"Her campaign may be trying to bury her past, but Abrams' record
is abundantly clear at every turn," McCarthy added. "If she
truly supports law enforcement here in Georgia, she should
resign her position with the Marguerite Casey Foundation and
disavow the radical Defund the Police policies that put officers
at risk and families in danger."

Abrams' campaign did not immediately respond to a request for
comment.

Kemp's call for Abrams to leave the radical anti-police group
follows numerous Fox News Digital reports on her involvement
with the foundation.

The Marguerite Casey Foundation has repeatedly voiced support
for defunding and abolishing the police, Fox News Digital
previously reported.

The foundation also hosted an event in early February titled
"Becoming Abolitionists�A History of Failed Police Reforms &
Vision for True Public Safety," which was moderated by the
foundation's president and CEO, Carmen Rojas.

The group has also awarded millions to professors and scholars
who advocate anti-capitalist and prison abolitionist views.

STACEY ABRAMS GROUP INCREASED ANTI-POLICE FUNDING SHORTLY AFTER
SHE JOINED ITS BOARD, AND WITH HER SUPPORT

Abrams, meanwhile, also backed an expanded anti-police
initiative from the foundation, Fox News Digital also reported.

The board unanimously gave the green light to a campaign called
'Answer the Uprising' just weeks after Abrams had joined the
group. The initiative received Abrams' blessing and involved
increased financial support to liberal groups working on law
enforcement issues.

"This latest initiative is fully supported by Marguerite Casey
Foundation's Board of Directors, which recently named seven new
changemakers to the Board, including Stacey Abrams and Rashad
Robinson, President of Color Of Change," its press release at
the time of the announcement said.

GUBERNATORIAL RUN

The campaign involved $1.6 million more in pledged cash from the
Marguerite Casey Foundation to "fund programs and organizations
that directly address racial injustice in policing and the
justice system." It also established a coalition with other high-
dollar grantmaking organizations that provide backing to defund
the police groups.

The Marguerite Casey Foundation has also given grants to left-
wing groups that want to defund the police, according to their
tax forms.

In 2020, the foundation awarded $250,000 to the Movement for
Black Lives, a coalition of more than 50 groups, including Black
Lives Matter, that wants to "divest from excessive, brutal,
discriminatory policing and invest in a vision of community
safety that works for everyone, not just an elite few,"
according to its website.

The Marguerite Casey Foundation also gave $200,000 to the Black
Organizing Project, which is part of a 13-group committee
pushing to defund the Oakland police, in 2020.

That same year, the foundation sent $200,000 to the Louisville
Community Bail Fund, which bailed out a Black Lives Matter
activist who attempted to assassinate Jewish Democratic mayoral
candidate Craig Greenberg in February.
