Stacey Abrams serves as a board member of a UPS family foundation that awards millions of dollars to professors and scholars who promote anti-capitalist and jail abolitionist views, according to Fox News Digital.

Abrams, who is taking another attempt at running for Georgia governor, is now listed as a board member at the Seattle-based Marguerite Casey Foundation, a private grant-making foundation named after Marguerite Casey, the sister of UPS founder Jim Casey.

The far-left foundation has repeatedly voiced backing for defunding and abolishing the police.

According to her financial disclosures, Abrams, who has attempted to distance herself from the hardline rhetoric of the #DefundThePolice movement in the past, has gotten at least $52,500 in income from the foundation.

Last week, Abrams’ campaign explained to Fox News Digital that Abrams, who joined the foundation’s board in May 2021, does not hold the same views as the foundation.

In December, the Marguerite Casey Foundation and Group Health Foundation announced the recipients of the 2021 Freedom Scholars Awards, which gave $250,000 to each of six professors who are “leading research in critical fields including abolitionist, Black, feminist, queer, radical, and anti-colonialist studies.”

The $1.5 million annual award, established in 2020, “counters the limited financial resources and research constraints frequently faced by scholars whose work supports social movements,” the foundation stated.

One of the professors who accepted an award was Robin D. G. Kelley, who teaches African American history at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and has claimed that capitalism is inherently racist.

Kelley announced in a February NPR segment, “The secret to capitalism’s survival is racism.”

“So any true liberation has to be anti-capitalist,” he stated. “There’s no way capitalism can save us. And even if you could create a capitalism that’s somehow non-racial, which of course, is impossible - but let’s say in theory you can do that. We still have deep exploitation and inequality produced by it.”

Throughout the same NPR interview, Kelley announced that his “goal" growing up was to be a “communist for life.”

“I was involved in a study group organized by the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party, AAPRP, and we’d study Walter Rodney, Frantz Fanon, C.L.R. James, Angela Davis, I mean, Kwame Nkrumah. So this was outside the classroom. This is where I got the real education,” Kelley stated.

“I wanted to be a communist for life. I wanted to make revolution,” he went on. “And it's like, of course, you’ve got to be a historian to be a real good communist, not the other way around.”

Throughout another segment of the NPR interview titled, “There are no utopias,” Kelley claimed that a truly communist country has never existed throughout history.
