🌹 SOCIALIST FOR CITY COUNCIL 🌹
|
Atlanta DSA is proud to endorse our comrade Devin Barrington-Ward for Atlanta City Council Post 3 At-Large in the upcoming citywide special election!
Atlanta has the highest income inequality in the US because corporations and billionaire elites are running the Mayor's office. As a vocal opponent of Cop City and an advocate for Palestinian liberation, Devin is running to bring our movement into City Hall. Together we're fighting for affordable social housing, walkable green infrastructure, and good union jobs for working families. Let's unite to win an Atlanta that works for ALL of us, not just the 1%.
|
Devin is running in a special nonpartisan election to fill a vacant seat on City Council through 2025. The election will happen on the same ballot as the Presidential Election on November 5th, 2024, and probably go to a runoff on December 3rd. This is a unique opportunity to put the first Democratic Socialist on Atlanta City Council, and we need your help to get it done.
Join us this Tuesday at 10am as we head to City Hall to officially place Devin's name on the ballot for City Council!

🇵🇸 Thursday: Atlanta for Palestine! 🇵🇸
|
Biden and Trump, the two most unpopular candidates in history, are coming to Atlanta for their first presidential debate this Thursday June 27th!
While both Biden and Trump re-affirm their support for the ongoing genocide in Palestine, working people in Atlanta are standing up and fighting back. Join us in midtown at 7 p.m. the night of the debate to make our message clear: FREE PALESTINE! Ceasefire Now! End US Aid to Israel! No Money for Massacres!
