It was a beautiful day in District 2 celebrating the grand opening of Singleton Park and Greenway in unincorporated Norcross! What was once the Singleton Road Activity Building has been reimagined into a vibrant space where our community can gather, play, and connect. Thanks to support from our state, federal, and local partners — including SPLOST and vital grant funding — we turned vision into reality. We also were proud to parter with Art in Motion for the installation of the mural which serves as the backdrop for the new playground. Singleton Park and Greenway is more than a park; it’s a promise fulfilled and a reflection of our commitment to inclusive growth and ensuring every resident has access to safe, beautiful spaces to enjoy.

Drew's Student Equity Committee stepped up in a major way last week at ASALH Youth Day! 💡 We were honored to take a leadership role at this inspiring celebration of Black history emphasizing the impact of Black labor, held at @morehouse1867. Our students guided attendees through an Equitable Dinners experience, using our Thriving Together Atlanta play to spark deep, meaningful conversations. They expertly facilitated small-group discussions showcasing the incredible leadership, facilitation, and community dialogue skills they've developed through the Youth Equity Incubator. It was a powerful opportunity to engage with educators and community leaders passionate about history and justice. Drew was honored to be invited to participate on this significant public stage! (ASALH: Association for the Study of African American Life and History, founded by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, and the driving force behind the creation of Black History Month continues its mission to preserve and promote African American history and culture at Morehouse College.)

In a critical decision made on Wednesday, the Fulton County Commission voted against continuing much-needed financial support for veterans' services and withdrew $3 million in funding for arts organizations. This outcome is deeply concerning, especially given assurances from some commissioners about maintaining the support that our community has come to rely on. With historical budget underruns ranging from $50 to $100 million annually and discussions about potential millage rate adjustments, the decision seems at odds with available resources. Furthermore, the needs expressed by the Public Defender for additional staffing, ongoing for the last two decades, remain unmet. These developments call for continued advocacy for veterans and the arts, as their contributions are vital to our county's identity and growth. It's imperative to press on towards a future where Fulton County unites in support and recognition of its veterans and arts. Stand with us in pushing forward this important cause. #FultonForward #OneFulton #SupportVeterans #ValueTheArts #CommunityAdvocacy
