Westside Atlanta churches are carrying forward their civil rights legacy together, building local resilience with Groundswell and key partners.
Episode 2 of The Groundswell Way spotlights resilience in a historic part of Atlanta, the Westside, particularly Southwest Atlanta. While Atlanta is known as the birthplace of the civil rights movement, Southwest Atlanta was its incubator. Today, it is nurturing a new movement in that same tradition: the Westside Resilience Corridor. This two-part episode shares the story of the Westside Resilience Corridor and the dynamic ecosystem of community, corporate, and civic partners dedicated to building the social and technical infrastructure that brings it to life. We discuss what the Westside Resilience Corridor is, how it came to be, and why it matters today.
