Corporations “supported” BLM with corny catch phrases and donations for a year there is no reason to compare the “support” of the DSG bill by Disney when we know Disney financially supports the writers of the bill. Also, attention coming from Disney is coming from the workers

Replying to @nhannahjones
The fact is, Disney said nothing about the anti-CRT law or the Stop Woke Act, but has spoken out against the Don't Say Gay and I am interested in why, and I think the exploration of the why is a worthy inquiry that has nothing to do with my pitting groups against each other.

Why would corporations support anti CRT laws loudly when they’ve all created sham Diversity and inclusion departments in the wake of BLM?

If you have time, call and tell @CityofAtlanta that they should be thanking anti-racist protesters, not arresting legal observers. This has persisted far too long.

Raising this. An Atlanta lawyer was arrested while doing legal observation with a white colleague. @CityofAtlanta is proceeding with her prosecution for a curfew violation. She says her white colleague’s case was dismissed weeks ago.

It’s very concerning that as COVID cases rise, @CityofAtlanta continues to move forward full steam ahead with curfew cases in municipal court. Mayor @KeishaBottoms & the city solicitor have ignored all correspondence from orgs and attorneys to #dropthechargesATL.

ATL City Council wants to roll back bail reform and put more people in jail, without considering any other solution. This is ineffective and harmful. Please take 2 mins of your extra hour this Sunday to leave a comment, + 2 more to call 2 friends to do the same! #pumpthebrakesATL

i would much rather ATL be known for “lemon pepper wings and great strip clubs” than for it to maintain its current legacy, which is: for over 50 years we’ve had Black mayor after Black mayor & yet the city is becoming whiter & the homeless population is growing, @KeishaBottoms

The pandemic has put public transit at a financial breaking point. Inaction on emergency funding will leave many without the service they need to meet their essential needs. Join @TransitRidersUS on Oct. 6th as we call for Congress to pass emergency funding to #SaveTransit
MARTA Army is joining Transit Riders of the United States Together (TRUST) in their national day of action calling on Congress to pass emergency federal transit funding, both immediately and as part of sustaining support for this essential service in the long-term. See how you can take action to #SaveTransit below. Using a piece of tape, tape the hashtag #SaveTransit on your mask to bring attention to the nationwide campaign to call on Congress to pass emergency funding for transit. Take a photo or video of you wearing the mask. Share your photo on social media explaining why transit matters to you and why you think Congress should pass emergency funding for transit. Use the hashtags #SaveTransit and #TrustRidersFundTransit. Tag your House and Senate representatives. You can find your representative at www.house.gov.

Go to martastories.com to make a contribution to our growing bank of rider stories. We are looking for stories that describe the impact of COVID-19 on transit ridership. These stories will be used to amplify the importance of transit on the local and national level. The pandemic has eroded revenues that pay for transit, such as passenger fares and sales taxes. With funding from the CARES Act nearly exhausted in major cities, transit is at a financial breaking point. Without additional federal aid, transit in metro Atlanta may face budget shortfalls causing prolonged service cuts more severe than those caused by the Great Recession. Service cuts as deep as 40% could leave 142,557 people without frequent full-day service, over two-thirds being non-white or Hispanic. Now is the time to act to #SaveTransit.

This is why Atlanta has been on fire for months... this is the type of violence that ignites riots... This ain’t about policy fixes and planning best practices It’s about literally eating the rich Let the heads roll and provide for the people – at Minneapolis, MN

Mayor Bottoms, you invoked Audre Lorde’s words in your DNC speech: “Your silence will not protect you.” Your police silence the cries of protesters, chilling and criminalizing free speech. Who are they protecting? #DropTheChargesATL

The city “too busy to hate” isn’t too busy to arrest its citizens for exercising their First Amendment rights. Take action here - by emailing the mayor, the city council pres., and the city solicitor, and PLEASE share: schr.org/take-action-tell-th…

Since the uprisings against police violence began, Atlanta police have arrested over 600 protesters. Today, we are calling upon @keishabottoms, @FeliciaAMoore & Solicitor Raines Carter to follow the lead of other cities and dismiss the charges. #DropTheChargesATL

This pattern of arresting protesters flies in the face of the First Amendment. These arrests also further clog an already overburdened court system and jeopardize the health of citizens and court staff. #DropTheChargesATL Take action here: schr.org/take-action-tell-th…
