Special Episode on Building Community Power in Southwest Atlanta
What does real resilience look like when a community comes together to design its own future?
In this special episode of The Groundswell Way podcast, we travel to Atlanta’s historic Westside, home to the legacies of civil rights, faith, and community power, to explore the Westside Resilience Corridor: a living model for resilience, self-determination, and collaboration.
Through partnerships between neighbors, nonprofits, churches, corporations, local government and community leaders, the Westside Resilience Corridor is creating the social and technical infrastructure needed to ensure every resident can thrive. From clean energy to emergency readiness, from housing stability to shared leadership, this episode uncovers how a community rooted in history is shaping a stronger, more connected tomorrow.
Across both episodes, listeners will meet the local leaders behind the Corridor and hear how their work is redefining resilience not as recovery, but as readiness, relationships, and renewal.
Tune in to Episode 2 this November and hear how Southwest Atlanta is lighting the way for resilient communities everywhere.
