Save the date for our next Brake Light Clinic:
Saturday, January 25, 2020 ~ 10am-3pm
Little Five Points Community Center
1083 Austin Ave NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30307
Wait, what are brake light clinics? Police traffic stops can be perilous and life-disrupting for undocumented immigrants and people of color, and one of the main causes of these stops are broken tail lights. Brake light clinics are a free service organized by our Mutual Aid working group that provides our communities with free brake light repairs — along with a healthy dose of socialism! (Learn more about DSA brake light clinics in this Vice article.)
Want to help out? We need brake light clinic volunteers! Please sign up for a shift to volunteer as a brake light tech, a greeter, or a sign waver/traffic flagger.

That's all for this week!
In Solidarity,
Metro Atlanta DSA
