If I had a timely reading list for #DecaturDinners this piece by @brian_goldstone in the @newrepublic would be at the top of the list. newrepublic.com/article/154618… It's a truly devastating piece on how racial capitalism produces housing insecurity for countless #ATL residents.
As someone who clearly went to school on Ta-Nehisi Coates's long-form, scholarly journalism, @brian_goldstone's portrait of Atlanta (as a boom city whose boom is destroying the lives of the people that make it possible) is remarkable for a number of reasons.
In a welcome departure, @brian_goldstone shows how state power is not merely impotent and incapable of addressing the Goodman family's plight but also how it facilitates, exacerbates, and often causes their housing insecurity.

Honored to be facilitating one of #DecaturDinners historic events tonight where over a thousand residents will gather simultaneously at over 100 dinners around the city to discuss racism and the path to racial justice. decaturdinners.com
The (mostly potluck) #DecaturDinners are all being hosted & facilitated on a volunteer basis & are being intentionally engineered to make sure that each of them is as diverse as possible. Most of them will have about 10 participants. I dig the cost model & decentralized structure
#DecaturDinners will start with a performance piece by @OutofHandATL and then flow into a shared meal were total strangers who live in the same community will have a chance to open up to one another about racism and how its complex iterations effect their daily lives.
