“We were doing what everybody is doing in November,” Nzinga said. “We were campaigning for the candidate that we feel is best to represent our community. And the pictures were taken where we work the best: in our community.”

Members decided to support Abrams after reading her platform, he said. Plus they believe Kemp’s alliance with President Donald Trump makes him an unacceptable candidate.

But that doesn’t mean they agree with Abrams on everything, especially the firearm issue.

“Even when she is going against gun laws, which is a foundation of the Panther Party, we still think she is a better candidate that this Trump sympathizer who is openly attacking our community,” Nzinga said.
