Heaven Bound, an African American folk drama that portrays the struggles and pitfalls of a group of pilgrims striving to reach the gates of heaven, was first performed on February 17, 1930, at the Big Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Atlanta. It was hailed soon after as "the first great American folk drama" by the Theatre Guild and has been performed annually ever since. This year's performances are on November 9 and 10, Big Bethel A.M.E. Church, Atlanta,  7 p.m.  For reservations call 404-827-9707  - this is the correct number

Now is the time to act on the budget

From the GA Center for Nonprofits

Check out our Advocacy Toolkit for scripts and contact information.

What to do

  1. Call your U.S. Representative and urge them not to accept the Senate version of the budget reconciliation bill without amendments that:
    1. Protect vulnerable populations by restoring or preserving funding for food assistance, healthcare, housing, education, and childcare.
    2. Avoid placing new, unfunded administrative burdens on states and nonprofits.
    3. Retain programs that are essential to local jobs, services, and economic resilience in communities across your district, including Inflation Reduction Act funding.
  2. Reach out to local officials to speak about the economic harm involved, and ask them to speak out against provisions that harm your nonprofit as an employer and contributor to the local economy.
  3. Mobilize your network to do the same. Every voice counts!
