ATLANTA: LOCAL INITIATIVE COMBINES WITH NATIONAL SUPPORT

Abstract

For over a decade the Atlanta‐North Georgia Labor Council has had a reputation as an activist council engaged in innovative coalition building. Looking to build on this work and learning from the power‐building experiences in California and elsewhere, the Council founded the nonprofit Georgia Stand‐Up in 2005. The new organization immediately leaped into coalition work around Atlanta's massive new economic development initiative—the BeltLine Project. This article looks at how local leadership was able to combine seeds laid by prior work with national support to produce a dynamic example of the new second generation of regional power building.
