Recently, several news outlets reported that Atlanta stands out as the metropolitan area with the highest number of eviction filings. But evictions are just one aspect of the complex housing crisis that affects families across the nation. by @pga_satl

Earlier this week on the 50% Project we explored the child food insecurity crisis here in our own backyard. In Georgia the numbers are pretty grim, but when it comes to Hancock County, Georgia the numbers are down right atrocious.

Feeding America estimates that at least 46.9% of children in Hancock County are suffering from child food insecurity. The most important thing to stress is that this is not a personal or individual failure, but a systemic and policy based issue.

There are many contributing factors to child food insecurity such as income, transportation, and school meal gaps in the Summer. With each of these being measurable they are also solvable. We have the power to change these conditions.

Make sure you follow @ PGA_MGA for ways to uplift the 50% project and how to help solve this crisis.

There is a long laundry list of things that black folks are known for, including creating every modern genre of music, being the backbone of civil rights movements, and taking over like it's the 99/2000.

But there is one thing we know Black folks don't be doing: they do not hang themselves from trees.

Over the past year, at least 10 Black people have been found hung from trees in America mainly in the South.

It's incumbent upon us as a nation to rise up and fight back against these heinous incidents.

These 10 individuals -

Tasia Fortune and Demartravion "Trey" Reed of Mississippi,
Demetrius Flemming and Juliana Nzita of North Carolina
Justice Kai James and Kyle Bassinga of Georgia
To'nea Nicole Miller of Florida
Jerard "Jay" Jackson of Michigan
Torrence "Tory" Medley of Wisconsin
and more recently a black man in Maryland who's name has not been revealed to the public -

all deserved better than what they were given and how this situation has been handled. We need to call upon our representatives to push law enforcement agencies to investigate these tragedies.

Because we all know there's a lot of things Black folks probably goin' always do - but we know one thing that they ain't about to ever do, and that's hang themselves from trees.

Today we stood with community members, immigrant justice organizations and Samson’s loved ones to send a clear message: Bring Samson Birhane home!

Samson came to the United States as a refugee from Eritrea at age 13 and has lived in Atlanta for more than 16 years. In June, he was deported to Equatorial Guinea, a country he had never visited. He was held in a hotel used as a detention center until he was recently transferred to a jail. Amnesty International reports that officers beat Samson during the transfer and has raised concerns about his safety and detention conditions.

Thanks to @advancing_justice_atl for putting this together. by @pga_satl

ICE and Flock work together to target vulnerable communities under the guise of public safety.

A woman who applied for asylum 4 years ago was called to report to the ICE office in Norcross this morning while her active duty military husband is away for training and not reachable by phone. ICE planned to detain her while her husband serves our country, so the community showed up to be with her in his absence.

Should ICE be able to detain and deport military spouses and family members while our service members are away from home for training or deployment? by @pga_satl

188 days. Still no security audit update.

As of August 10, it’s been 188 days since Flock promised to provide updates on its security audits.

While we wait, public records can already tell us how Flock is being used for surveillance through different reports, such as:

🔴 First Amendment Report
Tracks Flock searches referencing protests, religious gatherings, journalists, or political organizing, activities protected by the First Amendment.

🔴 Immigration Report
Tracks searches indicating immigration enforcement, ICE coordination, or border activity.

🔴 Scanner Map
See reported Flock camera counts across U.S. counties, including per-capita and density views.

And the numbers are growing:
4,684,253 license plates
241,325,915 known Flock searches

Is your license plate one of them?
Search the public records and explore the data:

The surveillance is happening. The public deserves transparency.
