Atlanta, GA Focus
Proctor Creek Cleanup, Saturday, December 5 from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m
Hosts: UCR, West Atlanta Watershed Alliance, and Community Improvement Association
Location: Proctor Creek – 533 and 539 Lindsey Street, Atlanta GA. 30318 (West Atlanta)
Parking: Lindsey Street Baptist Church, across the street from the site
Directions: From Bankhead Highway - Travel south on Joseph E. Lowery Blvd and turn Left on North Avenue. Lindsey Street will be the next right.
RSVP TO: tbates@ucriverkeeper.org or 404.352.9828 x12
All participants are required to sign a Liability Waiver prior to participation.
What to Expect: One source of Proctor Creek originates within the Vine City/English Avenue Community. Nonpoint source pollution abounds in this area which has suffered from blight and environmental injustice for far too long. Proctor Creek is also one of the most environmentally impaired creeks in the metro Atlanta. We will be picking up trash out of the creek, and also in surrounding abandoned homes and empty lots areas.
What to Wear: Wear clothes that you don't mind getting very dirty. Wear old sneakers or boots (NO sandals) and bring work gloves if you’ve got them. We encourage you to wear long pants as some of the trash we pick up is broken glass and sharp/jagged materials. You might want to bring clean clothes and shoes to change into for your journey home.
Child/Youth Participation: We welcome children, but they must be supervised at all times by their parent/guardian. Minimum 10 years of age.

FCDP Meetings are held on the second Thursday of every month (except December), at 7:00pm at the Communications Workers of America (Local 3204) Hall at 307 Logan Street SE Atlanta, GA 30312.
Mid-Fulton Democrats are a diverse group of people who strive to create a large, dynamic community of concerned citizens charged with communicating to the people of Atlanta the need to get educated about political issues affecting our lives. Get Engaged. It is important to learn about the issues, but civil society requires more: active participation in discussion and debate. We provide the opportunity for you to meet local elected officials and candidates running for local office and to express your concerns to them. A democracy depends upon the active participation of its citizens. Join us and make sure the issues you care about are heard.
We meet on third Tuesday of each month, 6:30 pm at Manuel's Tavern 602 N. Highland Ave., Atlanta, GA
BIODIESEL IN ATLANTA:
Here are some biodiesel stations in Atlanta, GA. Biodiesel is less polluting and has a smaller carbon footprint than regular diesel, and is produced right here in the USA. Biodiesel can be used in almost any diesel engine. Up to B20 (a 20 percent blend) any diesel engine, whether car or 18 wheeler or whatever, can use it. Above B20 some older engines may have problems, but newer engines should be ok.
