Check out this petition!

Right now, the strip of land between our sidewalks and streets sits mostly empty. It could be feeding us instead.

I started a petition asking our city to allow residents to plant food in residential swales. I've seen what growing and sharing food does for a neighborhood—it brings people together, cuts down on food insecurity, and honestly? It makes our streets feel alive instead of wasted.

Our current code says no. But other cities like Seattle already allow it, and they're thriving because of it. We could too. It's not complicated—it's just letting people use the space they already own to grow something real.

If you've ever thought, "Why is that strip of dirt just sitting there?" or felt the squeeze of rising food prices, or wanted your neighborhood to feel more connected, this matters. If this resonates with you, I'd love for you to consider signing and sharing it. What would you plant if you could?

All of Us Rally

The MAGA regime is in the midst of trying to whitewash our past so they can control our future. Trump wants to keep the promise of America only for wealthy, white men like him by disappearing Black and brown Americans, rolling back our civil rights and freedom to vote, and taking away birthright citizenship. But we can turn the tide.

It’s time for all who call this place home to take a stand against the MAGA regime’s attacks on our country’s past, present, and future. While we boycott Trump’s anti-American, whitewashed 250th, we will join together to embrace all of America, all of our history, and commit to the work yet to be done to make this country a place where liberty and equality are for all.

Join 50501 NorthGA and Indivisible Forsyth on Saturday June 27th. Protest will take place on all four corners of the intersection of Peachtree Pkway and McGinnis Ferry Rd! Bring a sign, some water, and your voice!!

As always this is a peaceful, non-violent action.

Project World Cup Spotlight In Atlanta

This past Sunday, Project World Cup Spotlight took to the streets alongside World Cup fans with a message of Welcome, Unity and Human Dignity.

Chants with a dual meaning rang out: "¡El pueblo unido jamás será vencido!"

Thousands of fans dressed in Spain's iconic red and gold filled Atlanta's streets, singing, dancing, waving Spanish flags, and marching together toward the stadium in a powerful display of international fellowship. Among them was Project World Cup Spotlight's now-recognizable five-foot inflatable soccer ball with messages like, "The World is Watching," "Immigrants Welcome," and other statements centered on human dignity, belonging, and inclusion.

Smaller inflatable soccer balls that read "Atlanta Loves Immigrants" bounced through the crowd as fans enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to interact with the campaign's visual storytelling.

Project World Cup Spotlight was created to draw attention to the contrast between the global celebration of sport and the ongoing challenges faced by immigrant communities, while remaining firmly committed to peaceful, nonviolent engagement and respect for athletes, fans, and the game itself.

In the midst of this global spotlight we must keep the pressure on our elected officials! Follow 50501GA to learn more and join our next gathering.
