Heatwave Coalition

Building community readiness to ensure the safety, dignity, and care of our neighbors in times of crisis

STAND is working in coalition with groups across Atlanta to form Heatwave – an on the ground response to support and protect the most vulnerable members of our communities. This non-violent and lawful effort is rooted in our neighborhoods where we ensure that our neighbors know their rights, have the food and resources they need, and watch each others backs. Learn more about the effort from our resident punk rocker for peace – Izzy Strummer.
