Education Trust Looking For Third Cohort of Justice Fellows
From the Education Trust (https://edtrust.org/)
In 2020, EdTrust launched the Justice Fellows Policy Program, which centers on the lived experiences of formerly incarcerated individuals who have leveraged higher education against the residual consequences of incarceration, by elevating their voices in policy debates about improving higher education for all justice-impacted people in the United States.
I'm excited to announce that we are accepting applications for our third cohort of Justice Policy Fellows!
We are looking for previously incarcerated individuals who have less than five years of professional, entrepreneurial, or community engagement experience, who have a strong desire to gain and develop higher education policy skills, and a passion for providing justice-impacted individuals with access to an equitable education.If this describes you or someone you know, be sure to apply or share with your networks!

Construction update - Atlanta BeltLine Westside Trail closure
Forwarded from Councilmember Dozier:
Work is underway to construct the access plaza to the Atlanta BeltLine Westside Trail across RDA in Westview.As part of the construction, we need to install a storm sewer line that will cross the Westside Trail to connect to an existing structure. We don't see a practical way to keep the trail open during this activity, so we have devised a plan to close the trail from the KIPP Academy access point to the Cascade Road Kroger Center access ramp for a duration of two (2) weeks to complete the installation. We would like to close this section of trail from December 11 to December 22.Fortunately, we have a ready-made detour from Lucile Avenue to Muse Street in the West End Trail as it runs along Muse parallel with the Westside Trail up to Cascade Road. There are multiple crosswalk options for walkers or bicyclists to cross over Cascade to the ramp that leads back down to the Westside Trail from the Kroger Center (see below).
