As we the people celebrate July 4, let’s continue to work to elect leaders who will listen to us and respect our choices. We believe that democracy still matters, and these postcards are a testament that people want their leaders to hear them.

The Beltline connects 45 neighborhoods, many of them part of Atlanta’s early 20th century suburbs, like Midtown. Business For BeltLine Rail Now finds Steve Collins, owner-manager at Sig Samuels Cleaners, in business on this corner since 1932.

Our endorsement of Devin Barrington-Ward has raised questions from our readers and others about how and why we arrived at that decision. Please note that our evaluation of the five candidates is based only on one issue, their position on Beltline rail.

Friendly debate about Beltline rail between the the group advocating for it (Beltline Rail Now) and against it (I've forgotten their name... doesn't really matter).

You can read the transcript or watch the video. Or ignore it and just build the train.

VoteATL and CCI are hosting a Candidate forum for the Post-3 City Councilperson tonight! The winner of this seat will have a powerful voice on council to support Beltline rail. Things that require a budget like improvements to the existing streetcar require a council vote.

There is time to change course and build all 17 More MARTA projects, plus the four new infill MARTA stations the mayor proposed earlier this year, but we must quickly increase funding from both existing and new sources. https://t.co/YvEIqUxRh5
