Watch the @kelseabondatl.bsky.social video on the TAD scam. She lays it out clearly and, dare one say, entertainingly? Refreshing to have a council member (elect) telling it like it is.

kelseabondatl🚨 SAY NO TO A SNAP VOTE ON THE TADS!🚨I may not be sworn in yet, but I work for YOU GUYS! Soon, Atlanta City Council will have to vote on whether to extend Tax Allocation Districts (TADs) until 2055. This is a huge decision on how to spend a LOT of money that would otherwise go towards our public schools and other services. The proposal to continue diverting funds towards accelerated development is strongly backed by developers and corporate interests, and the TAD’s proposed “oversight” commission is stacked with lobbyists for the top 1% — The Atlanta Committee for Progress, The Chamber of Commerce, and the Arthur M. Blank Foundation. Are these really the entities we believe will fight for working family’s best interests? Corporations and billionaires shouldn’t shape Atlanta’s policy priorities — people should. Tell your City Council Member to vote NO on the TAD extension!Council President Doug [email protected] (404)330-6052District 1Jason Winston [email protected] (404) 330-6039District 2 Carden [email protected](404) 330-6038District 3Byron Amos [email protected] (404) 330-6046District 4Jason Dozier [email protected] (404) 330-6047District 5Liliana Bakhtiari [email protected](404) 330-6048District 6Alex Wan [email protected](404) 330-6049District 7Howard Shook [email protected] (404) 330-6050District 8Mary [email protected] (404) 330-6051District 9Dustin Hillis [email protected] (404) 330-6044District 10Andrea L.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Starbucks Workers are On Strike! ☕️🫡

Starbucks workers in Metro Atlanta & all across the country are on strike until Starbucks agrees to come to the bargaining table. Baristas deserve a living wage, fair scheduling, and a seat at the table.

Very interesting numbers. Way more under-50s voted than over-50s, despite the elders' usual higher turnout rate. It's a young district.

Probably much higher 18-30 and 31-50 turnout percents than in past D2 elections, too, thanks to the vigorous ground campaign.
This is young voter turnout district 2 versus citywide 😎
