So New Disabled South Rising has 4 billboards up in ATL! 2 gotv billboards: one on I-20 N by AUC, and one at MB stadium. 3rd compares @ashwinforga to his fake elector opponent on Abbotts Bridge Rd in Johns Creek. 4th compares Sally Harrell GA SD-40 to her opponent on I-85 N near Chamblee-Tucker.

Community is going to be critical moving forward. We New Disabled South Rising / New Disabled South updated our Atlanta election billboards with this message: Community care includes wearing a mask. Love disabled people.
