    Thank you for this! I’d share the video of my girlfriend surprising me with this but there are too many shouts of “are you _____ kidding me?!?”
    Proud to have played a small part in honoring Atlanta’s greatest living citizen.

    This is Kiyomi and her daughter Lyric. Lyric is a rising sophomore at Spelman. This is her first time voting. Having to wait hours in line makes her question whether officials are serious about helping people vote.

    Lauren Owens tried early voting three times but faced obstacles each time. She kept this chair in her car since 2013. “Anywhere you go in Atlanta you might need a chair. Buying tickets, music festivals. I guess voting.”

    Stay in line. Vote. Use your voice. Angels are out there giving out water and pizza but they shouldn’t have to do that. Our elections system should be simple, transparent, and accessible.

    “I brought the chair for her, saw the line, and walked home and got another,” Michael says. “And an umbrella. This could take long.” “He’s a good husband,” Christie says. “He brought snacks too.”
