Your weekly ATL politics briefing, Aug. 20

This week, King, Sylvia, and Aja are back to break down the recent news in Atlanta regarding #StopCopCity, the mayoral race — particularly aspiring candidate Brittney Geter, other candidate updates from Sylvia, a pretty deep F-word section, a new segment called “Explain It To Me Like I’m 5”, and more.

Our podcast episode featuring Sylvia, Jess, and Aja entitled “2020, a postmortem,” to center the reflections of how vital centering Black, trans, Indigenous voices are while working in transformative justice … because failing to do so runs the risk of it all falling apart.
