March with Kelsea at the Atlanta Pride Parade

Join Team Kelsea Sunday Oct. 12 at noon as they march in the Atlanta Pride parade! Help spread the word about Kelsea's Atlanta DSA-endorsed campaign and their fight to defend queer and trans folks, for abortion rights, and for healthcare as a human right. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

Canvass Leader Job Posting
|
The Kelsea Bond campaign is looking to increase their field capacity by hiring part-time Canvass Leaders to support canvass volunteers and our field program through the rest of the election. This role requires a minimum commitment of at least 2 shifts per week, which is ~8 hrs a week of work at $20/hr.
|
Make sure you are registered TO VOTE!
|
Nearly 471,000 Georgians were recently purged from voter rolls by Georgia Republicans. Voters removed by Georgia’s “Use it or Lose it” law can re-register, but voters must still register at least 29 days before Election Day. As the far-right fascist regime threatens our communities and basic rights, our votes matter now more than ever.
Today is the last day, so please make sure that you are registered to vote, and if not, register today!

Transit in Atlanta | Saporta Report
Here are two op-eds that were published last week in Saporta. One is about how public transit in Atlanta stands at a crossroads, as Mayor Andre Dickens finds new ways to delay Beltline rail. The other is about how in the 2023-24 statistical year, the Atlanta metro region lost population to domestic migration for the first time since we started keeping track. See if you can identify the common threads that make these two pieces into each side of the same coin.
