ASSOCIATED PRESS Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) campaigned for Stacey Abrams, Democratic nominee for governor of Georgia. Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) on Friday recalled the day known as “Bloody Sunday” ― when he and several hundred others marched the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Alabama in 1965 ― while campaigning for Stacey Abrams, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee in Georgia. At the rally, Lewis urged voters to show up to the polls for Abrams, saying voting is the “most powerful nonviolent” instrumental tool in society. We have to vote.” Lewis also acknowledged the many times he has been arrested while fighting for equality. #GoodTrouble — John Lewis (@repjohnlewis) November 3, 2018
