Your weekly ATL politics briefing, July 16

King, Sylvia, and Aja are back to help ring in Mainline’s 2nd anniversary — this week we hit the ground running with updates on ATL Homeless Union, the “we-don’t-really-want-your-input” public input session for Atlanta residents about Cop City, voting rights & mass arrests of Black women in D.C. protecting the right to vote, and a hefty new candidates alert from Sylvia with notes on campaign financing.
