A Message From Debra Pickett

🌟 Help Me Make a Difference in Atlanta! 🌟 Join Me in Supporting Workforce Training for Underserved Communities Friends and Family, I’m reaching out with something close to my heart — a mission to empower lives through workforce development for those who’ve been too often left behind: youth, people with disabilities, the unemployed, and the underemployed in underserved communities across metro Atlanta. Did you know Atlanta ranks last among major U.S. cities in economic mobility? That means too many people here are born into poverty and never get the chance to rise above it. But we can help change that — starting now. Through this campaign, we're supporting programs that provide job training, career coaching, and access to sustainable, living-wage employment. This is about more than jobs — it's about dignity, opportunity, and brighter futures. 👉 My personal goal is to raise $1,000, and every dollar brings someone closer to breaking the cycle of poverty. 💛 Will you help me reach it? No amount is too small — your support can be the reason someone gets their first shot at a stable career. Let’s come together to make economic mobility real in our city. Together, we can help build a stronger, more inclusive Atlanta — one opportunity at a time. 🙏 Thank you for believing in this cause and in the power of community. With gratitude, Debra Pickett
