Recap of Pres. Biden’s commencement speech at Morehouse; Propel ATL calls for increase to proposed ATLDOT budget; Guaranteed income program expanding
WABE education reporter Juma Sei discusses President Joe Biden’s commencement address at Morehouse College. The President addressed several current topics, including democracy, systemic issues that impact Black people and the Israel-Hamas war.
Plus, Propel ATL is calling on Atlanta city leaders to increase the Atlanta Department of Transportation’s proposed budget to match other major cities. The current proposal increases the department's budget by 2%, which doesn’t keep up with the rate of inflation. Rebecca Serna, the executive director of Propel ATL, highlights how the proposed budget does not make up for funding cuts from the previous year. She shares what her organization hopes additional funding could be used for.
Lastly, the In Her Hands guaranteed income program is expanding to reach more Black women in more Atlanta neighborhoods. Hope Wollensack, the executive director of Georgia Resilience and Opportunity Fund, talks about the eligibility and application process. She also mentions the key findings of the In Her Hands’ Year One Evaluation Report. Shamarra Woods, an Old Fourth Ward resident, and participant of In Her Hands, shares how the program has changed her life.
