Attorney General Chris Carr's office is appealing Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney’s ruling on Sept. 30, which found Georgia’s six-week ban on abortions unconstitutional. The Georgia Supreme Court recently reinstated Georgia’s abortion ban while it considers the state’s appeal. A.C. Coquillas, the communications manager at Feminist Women's Health Center, responds to the appeal and the court’s decision. 

Plus, from the start of his culinary career, award-winning Chef Sean Sherman discovered the lack of access to traditional Native American food and the health problems it caused for Indigenous people. As founder and executive director of The North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems (NĀTIFS), Sherman and his team are working to expand access and educate on the nationwide benefits of Native American foods. Sherman talks about his efforts to address the economic and health crises affecting Native communities and reflects on Indigenous Peoples' Day. 

Lastly, voters in Cobb and Gwinnett County will decide on the future of public transit where they live. Specifically, in Cobb County voters will have the opportunity to vote for or against the Mobility Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, also known as MSPLOST. The goal of the 1% sales tax is to expand and fund Cobb County’s transit services over the next 30 years. However, not everyone supports the transit proposal. We hear from Lisa Cupid, the chairwoman of the Cobb County Board of Commissioners, and Cobb County District 1 Commissioner Keli Gambrill.
