African American history is everyone’s history especially when telling the story of Atlanta! You cannot understand our Atlanta history without teaching African American history This is wrong

The fallout begins after the state school superintendent declines to adopt a popular AP African American Studies course, which means no state dollars can go to the class. #gapol ajc.com/education/get-…

The more you look into the details of the Buckhead City bill- the worse it gets! This is a very bad idea poorly executed to the detriment of all #keepatlunited

I testified today at the GA State Legislature against the Buckhead City proposal #SB114 Why would we split Atlanta when crime is down, unemployment is down, economic development is strong? This is the time to grow the pie not to divide it into smaller pieces

A sad day as Atlanta’s @MusicMidtown is cancelled Public policy has real impacts and in this case- economic and social implications on a great tradition

Atlanta's Music Midtown festival has been cancelled due to Georgia's gun laws. The festival attempted to ban weapons, but does not have the standing to supersede the law and enforce its own ban rol.st/3zM5OoP

“I think the closure is too long, period," said Atlanta City Council President Doug Shipman. “I think four years with a slight reopening for the World Cup is not of service to our riders.”

Headed home after @atlcouncil meeting today. While we are still virtual I took the meeting from my office to make sure our new puppy didn’t accidentally vote. Riding @MARTAservice with a heavy heart today…

Amtrak is looking to make Atlanta a railroad hub again. Amtrak released a $75B passenger rail proposal. The plan calls for a new Atlanta rail hub with routes connecting the city with Birmingham, AL; Charlotte, NC; Macon, GA; Montgomery, AL; Nashville, TN; & Savannah, GA.

Last week @MARTAtransit presented the renovation plan for five points station that included no pedestrian access for nearly 4 years. Many residents and I believe the current plan is not acceptable and I will continue to voice my concerns #wecandobetter
