Should Marietta give away 33 acres to a billionaire or build something for the community?

The former IKEA site on Franklin Gateway is now city-owned. YELLS is collecting community input on what should go there.

Take the survey: forms.gle/yuKsDWEHoaQj...

🚲 Marietta Bike Social is back this Saturday.

We roll every Saturday at 10AM outside Marietta Food Hall. Easy pace. About 5 miles. Roughly one hour.

Everyone is invited. Kids welcome. BYOBike. See you Saturday 💚🚲

Yes! Anything is possible with combined community effort. Been working hard to make sure something better goes on that spot.

Franklin Road has so much potential. After a cleanup with A Better Cobb, one thing is clear. The future of this corridor should be shaped by the people who live here.

Tell Yells, Inc. what you want to see. Join this week’s meeting on Feb 11 & fill out the survey docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Miranda, A Better Cobb member, told Cobb County commissioners how the threat of ICE has affected her family and called for ICE to be banned locally. These stories deserve to be heard.

Join us and make public comment on the issues you care about: abettercobb.com/join

Georgia House Rep. Gabriel Sanchez joined A Better Cobb at the Cobb County Commissioners meeting to condemn ICE & call for action.

Rep. Sanchez’s office has hired an immigrant liaison & introduced House Bill 889, which requires federal agents to clearly identify themselves.

Symbols matter.

Sharing this as the co-founder of A Better Cobb, a nonprofit I started.

Our board chair, Robie Mitchell, asked Cobb commissioners to commit to due process, reject abuses of power, and state that immigrants are welcome.

A special @mariettabikesocial this Saturday to honor Alex Pretti, a member of the cycling community. Come as you are and bring your friends and family and children for this community bike ride. Meet us in downtown Marietta!

Speaking during public comment at the Cobb County Board of Commissioners meeting.

This moment is shaped by real tragedies—the deaths of Renee Good, Keith Porter, & Alex Pretti, whose killings by ICE have sparked national outrage.

Today I asked our county leaders how they are keeping people safe.

More moments from Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service with A Better Cobb and @atldemsoc.bsky.social This is what community looks like. 💚🧹

Thank you to GA State House Rep Gabriel Sanchez for HD42, for showing up on MLK Day with A Better Cobb to keep our community beautiful.

House District 42 includes part of the City of Marietta and the southern end of Ward 7

Leadership means showing up

First ever Marietta Bike Social cancellation this Saturday (Jan 24) due to weather.

When I ran for mayor, I walked and biked nearly every street in Marietta and talked with neighbors, housed and unhoused.

MUST Ministries runs Cobb’s only warming center. That’s a lot for one group.

Stay warm❤️

If you dropped your ocarina on Franklin Gateway, it’s ours now 🤣🧹

Found during our Martin Luther King Jr. Day cleanup with A Better Cobb.
An actual ocarina straight out of The Legend of Zelda 🎶

Other notable finds included a solid bag of concrete, several tires, and yes… some teeth 😬

Thanks to A Better Cobb & Atlanta DSA for sponsoring this MLK Day cleanup on Franklin Gateway💛🧹

Props to
• Jaha Howard, GA State Senator
• Gabriel Sanchez, GA State Rep
• Cheryl Richardson & Joseph Goldstein, Marietta City Council
• Christina Rogers, School Board
for joining our crew of volunteers.

Join us this Monday on Franklin Gateway for a day of community care

We’ll start with a light neighborhood cleanup, then share lunch together afterward at Jerusalem Bakery.

This is a family friendly event, so bring the kids, bring a friend, and come spend a little time making our neighborhood shine

Ever wondered how local government actually works?

If you have ever thought about running for office, or just understanding how decisions get made, this is the place to start.

You do not need experience. You just need to show up.

If you were wondering where I stand on ICE. I stand IN THE WAY of ICE terrorizing our neighbors.

Rainy weekend in Marietta, but it needs to be said. What happened to Renée Nicole Good in Minneapolis was uncalled for and should concern us all. ICE operates everywhere, including metro ATL. This isn’t about national politics. Ask your elected officials what they’re doing to keep our neighbors safe

Happy New Year’s Eve. I hope everyone is warm and surrounded by love. Marietta Bike Social is meeting this Saturday to ride around downtown Marietta.

I’m deeply grateful for the people who keep showing up for one another. Heading into 2026, I’m excited to keep building a more connected Marietta.

Sat down with Ruwa to talk affordability, working people, and why Georgia deserves leadership that isn’t owned by billionaires.

If you’re tired of big money calling the shots, donate to Ruwa’s campaign & help us build something.

“I’m a homeowner. Why should I care that rent is expensive?”

Heard this a lot on the campaign trail. Rent isn’t just about apartments. It affects small businesses too. When commercial rents rise, shops close, jobs disappear, & our economy weakens. We want Marietta to stay strong & work for families

Chilly weather feels amazing when you’re biking 🚲New record this week with 19 riders.

Join Marietta Bike Social every Saturday at 10AM outside Marietta Food Hall. We ride about five miles in one hour at a pace that works for everyone.

This is a family friendly ride and kids love it.
