<h1><strong>Challenges Facing Global Democracies Amid COVID-19</strong></h1>

<h1><em>Featuring:&nbsp;</em><strong>Stacey Abrams</strong></h1>

<p><strong>Former Minority Leader of the Georgia House</strong></p>

<p><strong><em>#LeadHERship&nbsp;</em></strong><strong><em>+ COVID-19 Series</em></strong></p>

<p>In a recent piece published by Foreign Affairs,&nbsp;Stacey Abrams, former Minority Leader of the Georgia House of Representatives, made a compelling statement on how&nbsp;American leadership in the world starts with effective governance and flourishing democracy at home.</p>

<p>Has the U.S. abdicated its global leadership?</p>

<p>The Council is pleased to invite you for an&nbsp;online discussion followed by Q&amp;A with Stacey Abrams&nbsp;on May 28 at 12 PM ET. Abrams will address her thoughts on the&nbsp;status of American global leadership&nbsp;and, as we quickly approach November,&nbsp;the challenges we face in hosting elections during this pandemic.</p>
