Please join the Pocketbook Brigade in our support of the Unite in Light event sponsored by Indivisible ATL.
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
On October 4, Atlanta chooses light.
We will gather at locations across the city, then lift our candles to light Ponce de Leon Avenue from downtown to Stone Mountain. RSVP to find out where we'll be or make a spot of your own. The Pocketbook Brigade group will meet at the Deepdene Park entrance on Ponce De Leon. This park is part of the Olmsted Linear Park and is very close to the Fernbank Museum. The Museum is having a private event that night so you won’t be able to park there. You can park in Deepdene Park and meet our group at the park entrance. We will have a Pocketbook Brigade sign to help you find us. If you want to participate with your fellow Pocketbook Brigade members please email: cconrado@pocketbookbridge.org so we can keep an eye out for you.
Bring your neighbors. Bring your children. Bring your love for this country and let it shine. We will form a line of light across Atlanta, uniting communities across our city.
This is a moment to reflect, sing, pray, shed tears, wave glow sticks, share stories of what it means to be American, and remember we are not alone.
With every flame, we affirm the values America was built on: equality, liberty, justice, and human dignity. And with every flame, we commit to protecting them through our voices, our votes, and our daily actions.
If democracy dies in darkness, Atlanta chooses light.
Please sign up for yourself and your household only.

A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. This is a peaceful protest. No violent or vulgar behavior will be tolerated. Bring appropriate signs— the Pocketbook Brigade will have some supplies for marchers to make signs. On Saturday, October 4th, we're peacefully marching to shine a light on democracy and show our support for the ideals that make this the greatest country we can make it in our brief time on earth.
