Avoting rights group founded by former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams is drastically cutting back and laying off staff amid significant debt as contributions fall. …

The group’s previous CEO, Lauren Groh-Wargo, who left to manage Abrams’s second bid for governor in 2022, is coming back on an interim basis to carry out the sweeping layoffs necessary. The organization will be cutting 20 employees, which adds up to 75% of its staff.

Fair Fight is indebted $2.5 million and has just $1.9 million in available cash, according to Groh-Wargo. Only a few years ago, between 2018 and 2021, the group raised a reported $100 million.
