Show Notes

Kurt Kastorf, the legal advisor for Cop City Vote Coalition, discusses a referendum to cancel the lease for the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center and the lawsuit targeting a City of Atlanta clerk’s rejection of the wording in a petition. (Note: Shortly after broadcast, the city clerk's office announced the petition has been approved. In a statement, coalition organizers say they are waiting for an official copy of the final petition before deciding on moving forward with the lawsuit.)

The Atlanta City Council recently voted to change the penalties for parents or guardians of children who violate the city’s curfew. Plus, the latest on another attempt to put Jason Frazier on the Fulton Board of Elections. WABE politics reporter Rahul Bali discusses the latest.

Plus, a visit to the doctor changed Martinus Evans’ life forever. More than a decade ago, the former football player was advised to “lose weight or die.” Evans talks with Rose about his holistic approach to health and wellness, body positivity and his new book, “SLOW AF RUN CLUB: The Ultimate Guide for Anyone Who Wants to Run.”
