Last week, the Green Shirt Army showed up at Atlanta City Hall to advocate for an increased budget for parks and recreation!

As one community member put it, "When you cut the parks budget, you cut the community transformation budget." Several of the community members who joined us are graduates from our Park Stewardship Academy, and their training helped them effectively advocate for our parks. If that's a tool you'd like to add to your belt, consider applying to the 2026 class of PSA! Applications are open through Sunday, May 31. Visit the link in bio to learn more and apply!
