Westside Atlanta TAD Talk
Atlanta is weighing a multi-billion-dollar decision to extend its eight TADs (Tax Allocation Districts), shaping the future of how schools, infrastructure, and city services are funded. TADs can drive investment, but they can also fuel displacement and divert critical tax dollars from schools and services.
This conversation belongs to all of us. We’ll break TADs down in plain language, hear from local voices, and create space for real questions and discussion about what this decision could mean for your community. Join us to make sense of them, together.

People enjoy that the runs are free, open to anyone (all fitness levels) and no registration is required. Participants come for the 2- or 4-mile fun run/walk and stay to socialize with other runners and enjoy the post-run refreshments. Supporting breweries offer discounts on beverages and sometimes food. The weekly raffle of ABP/ATC swag and gift cards and products from the host breweries has become a participant favorite.

Young King: The Making of Martin Luther King Jr.

Lerone A. Martin, Faculty Director of the Martin Luther King Institute at Stanford University, traces these roots to develop a fuller understanding of the influential preacher’s emotional life, his youthful confusion about his future and career direction, his teenage missteps, and his inspiration to fight for justice.
