A remarkable initiative took place recently as over 100 employees from the Cobb County Department of Transportation and Bridgestone Americas joined forces to tackle environmental challenges. Together, they successfully removed nearly 400 illegally dumped tires in Cobb County, underscoring their commitment to sustainability and community well-being. This effort not only cleans up the environment but also sets a powerful example of teamwork and responsibility, showcasing how collective action can lead to positive change. The collected tires are set to be cleaned and recycled, highlighting the importance of preserving natural resources for future generations. Their dedication to environmental protection is commendable, and their actions inspire others to take similar steps towards a cleaner planet. Join them in this movement and consider how you can contribute to a sustainable future.

🌟 Keeping justice accessible in Fulton County isn’t easy — our Court is handling an unprecedented number of cases, but staff shortages have limited how many courtrooms can operate daily. Chief Magistrate Judge Cassandra Kirk is committed to sustainable funding solutions to ensure every community member can have their day in court without delay. ✅ Did you know? Our Court faces one of the highest Magistrate case volumes in the state, which puts extra pressure on our team striving to deliver timely justice. 👩⚖️ Running Georgia's busiest Magistrate Court with 3 staff across 9 courtrooms in 4 locations? It's not sustainable — but we're making it work because justice can't wait. Parties have filed 420,000+ cases since 2019. The math is simple: fewer resources, same commitment to access and case resolution. Since January 2025, our team has closed over 33,000 cases. 💡 Leading innovation — For a decade, we've turned limitations into breakthroughs. Now we're building a court system that doesn't just serve — it inspires. www.judgecassandrakirk.com

Last week, we broke ground on something so much bigger than just new construction, we broke ground on transformation, opportunity, and purpose at 405 Cooper Street in the heart of Mechanicsville, right here in District 4. What once was a long-vacant, blighted lot is now the site of real community promise. Through a no-cost land swap between Fulton County and the Atlanta-Fulton County Recreation Authority, we’ve shown what happens when government leads with vision and partnership. This project ensures Mechanicsville doesn’t just grow—it grows inclusively. It creates space for families, young professionals, and longtime residents to plant roots and stay connected to the place they call home. Proud to represent and fight for this kind of future. 💪🏽🏘️
