Be honest. Be present. Be advocates. @staceyabrams #ComNet19

Interesting to hear both Stacey Abrams and Desmond Meade convey that they ran the same campaign in all markets throughout their states instead of tailoring messages for different markets. #ComNet19

"Never be less than who you are to accommodate someone else’s expectations." @staceyabrams at @TheComNetwork #ComNet19

On decision-making and courage: Am I going to be more upset at their reaction or my inaction? @staceyabrams #ComNet19

@staceyabrams You meet people where they are, not where you want them to be. Give them a reason to move toward you; help guide them toward the goal you have. -- @staceyabrams at #ComNet19

@staceyabrams We have to be honest with our language. Our responsibility is to tell the truth. Be honest about what it means and why it hurts. -- @staceyabrams at #ComNet19

Takeaways and homework from @staceyabrams #ComNet19 keynote: You have the most amazing opportunity to create peer pressure. Communicate authentic stories and authentic challenges. Call people to action.

@staceyabrams Articulate the “why” of the problem. If people don’t understand why it’s a problem, they won’t support you. -- @staceyabrams at #ComNet19

Immigration is a global issue. What the United States does enormously influences the debate. We can’t rely on the federal government for a solution to this issue - there’s more to be done locally. #ComNet19

Reminders and takeaways from the #ComNet19 Immigration panel: Words matter a great deal. Immigration is about people and we can’t lose sight, or use words that dismiss, that human beings are at stake.

5.1 million votes based on love, forgiveness and redemption -- inspiration on what's possible from @desmondmeade #ComNet19. The power of storytelling that shrouds the human element with love.

Powerful reminder from @desmondmeade, leader of @FLRightsRestore, on the power of love and humanity to bridge what seems to divide us. #ComNet19
