Beloved USA Community Walk

Beloved community is formed not by the eradication of difference but by its affirmation, by each of us claiming the identities and cultural legacies that shape who we are and how we live in the world

Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that.

Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.

YOU can make a difference in your community and it all begins with the first step. We'll walk from the Decatur Square to Candler Park together AND raise money for two great non-profits:
Intown Cares and Paint Love!

Hi, my name is Boyd Baker. I'm just an intown neighbor who loves Atlanta and my diverse and unique neighbors.

In these challenging times, I've felt overwhelmed and disappointed but unsure how to do anything to change opinions or improve my community.

My solution is to try and bring folks together - ALL FOLKS. This walk is a chance for all neighbors to slow down and walk and talk and connect as humans. We all have differences but there's more that connects us than divides us. This is FOR the BELOVED COMMUNITY - not against anything. Talking is the first step.

Signing up at Active.com gets you a tshirt - proceeds then go to the non-profit.
