Supporting Victories, Celebrating Struggle!



Since November of last year a growing number of metro Atlantans have been resisting the banks foreclosure and evictions and in many cases winning!

Tonight we created the space to not only celebrate those that have found victory in their personal struggle, we also honored those that are currently in the struggle for their housing.


It's important to make time to enjoy each others company, share a meal, share our stories, and reflect on the work. That's what tonight's dinner was about.


I was personally moved by all of the stories shared tonight, and I think we were all inspired to be more fearless, more vulnerable, more real with each other and the world around us.

Big Thanks to Higher Ground Empowerment Center for hosting this evening.
