The boldest and most courageous part of Dr. King’s legacy was not just his words, but his unwavering commitment to transformative—and deeply unpopular—social and economic public policies. When I ran, I was inspired by his audacity, which was viewed as a threat to power—in many ways, it still is.

I can’t believe ping pong balls were nominated for the 2026 @goldenglobes.bsky.social after such a controversial performance in the 2025 elections in Atlanta. #goldenglobes #martysupreme

Grateful for electeds who speak out against ICE violence. Angry at those who excuse it. Most alarmed by those who do nothing. Atlanta must use every tool—funding, trainings, legal support—to protect our people. Inaction costs lives. Renee Nicole Macklin Good should be alive. Silence is complicity

2026 Atlanta City Council committee assignments. Diversity of geography, expertise, and perspective are essential to drive more effective legislation and maintain 7 independent Council committees. Elections matter.

Democrats will need a policy response that is stronger and more courageous than a strongly-worded fundraising email.

This is the danger of political logic: justify a wrong thing by referencing a bad thing and claim that anyone against the wrong thing is OK with the bad thing. Politicians won’t save us, but electing the wrong people creates irreversible damage that will have consequences for generations. #nowar

Entering 2026 with my joy and morality in tact. ❤️

All pawlitics is local. 🐾🎄

I'm thankful for leaders who pair food giveaways with real policy solutions that address why thousands of people are waiting in lines for food in the first place. #thanksgiving 🦃🙏🏽❤️

~1.5 million people in Georgia rely on SNAP benefits— 50,000 veterans. Hundreds of veterans in Atlanta experience homelessness. Veterans face urgent gaps in care. On #VeteransDay, governments must not just use veterans in profile photos, but commit to them through more effective public policy. 🇺🇸

Thank you, Atlanta, for the little rooms. OutKast reminds us how much work goes into creating something that matters. Not just in the music they made, but how they made it: as Misfits. We all felt pride and fight in André 3000’s speech 30 years ago. Hard not to feel that all over again last night.

This is a campaign and a moment that I will never forget for the rest of my life. Thank you, a million times over. Forever I love Atlanta. #atlpol #atlroh

Atlantans—today is your LAST chance to vote for Rohit Malhotra for City Council President! Like Rohit, Indivisible ATL believes Atlanta is worth fighting for! (Be in line by 7pm to vote in statewide races like the PSC. Polls stay open to vote for Rohit until 8pm.) @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social

@rohitforatlanta.bsky.social (usually a boring city council president race but would be a big win for progressives in #atl) @samformarietta.bsky.social (smart, engaging, young candidate challenging a 5 term old South mayor in #gapol)

Here in Atlanta yesterday, more than 2,000 people waited in their cars—one woman for 14 hours—for a box of food. The giveaway ended early; there wasn't enough to go around. Multiply this scene by countless others across the country, and you get a sense of how crushing the desperation is right now.

Hi, I’m Bernie Malhotra! Breaking from my nap to ask you to vote for my favorite human, Rohit, for Atlanta City Council President! We live in Grant Bark—he cares about walks, parks, food & play. Campaigns are ruff; but he’s all about good paw-licy 🐾 Someone say trick-or-TREAT? Happy Halloween! 🎃

We’re thrilled to endorse @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social for Atlanta City Council President! A son of Punjabi immigrants and a civic leader, Rohit will bring people-first leadership to the city by focusing on the needs of working families and investing in data-driven community solutions.

I’ve long stood with @acluofga—working together on voting rights, public safety, surveillance, and justice reform. I’ll bring those same commitments to City Hall as Atlanta’s next Council President. And I will always respond and show up. Early voting runs through Oct 31—this matters. 🗳️

Tonight was the first I’ve heard about @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social, and since I’m in NYC, I can’t vote for him. But if I lived in Atlanta, I would. And if -you- live in Atlanta, you should.

Vote Rohit! And Peter Hubbard & Alicia Johnson for Public Service Commission to protect us from the oncoming ai data center covering electricity rate hikes!!! find your precinct: mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/

We're excited to vote for Rohit.

Running for office is exhausting—but the real toll is emotional. I show up for every forum, every community, while others spread fear and hate. Atlanta raised me. I’m running on hope, ethics, and bold ideas. Let’s vote for the city we deserve. 🗳️❤️ #VoteRohit

The Plaza Theatre gets it. Vote Rohit Malhotra City Council President Early Vote Til Oct 31 @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social

Early Voting has begun and Indivisible ATL has endorsed @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social! 🎉 Let's help him cross the victory line. Volunteer to wave signs at Early Voting locations in Atlanta. (We promise, it's actually fun to do. Think silent disco. 🕺)

Early vote this week. The soul of Atlanta is on the ballot.

Our marchers in the Little Five Points Parade got a surprise visit from Rohit Malhotra, Indivisible ATL’s choice Atlanta City Council President. Polls open again Monday to vote @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social!

Polls are open today. Go vote for Hubbard and Johnson in the PSC election. And for Rohit for City Council President! @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social

Indivisible ATL has officially endorsed Rohit Malhotra for City Council President. We based this endorsement on a comprehensive review of Rohit’s platform, record, and values. He has a strong alignment with our platform and values. We're proud to support his campaign. @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social

My very immigrant, Indian father definitely thought the Pride parade was for people to march to show just how proud they are of someone else. So in addition to providing some other important history and context, we told him, “That’s exactly what it is.” Happy Pride, Atlanta! 🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This is what they’re actually scared of: an open and honest conversation about public safety. I was proud to host a policy townhall to share what I think and show how I’ll lead.

🚨 Endorsement Alert: Atlanta City Council President Felicia Moore! She’s one of our city’s sharpest policy minds. Served for 20+ years. She advocated for greater ethics and transparency. She’s been a mentor (+ someone I’ve had plenty of debates with) for over the past decade. I’m very grateful.

👇 let’s all donate today 👇

Hey y’all— I dont usually ask for things, but I need your help today. Tonight, at 11:59pm ET, is my final fundraising deadline. We are building a special, exemplary, people-powered campaign for City Council President. Momentum is on our side, and we can win this thing. But I can’t win without you.

Rohit Malhotra @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social a well known community leader and advocate for the people of Atlanta. As Council President, his leadership will stand as a barrier to any new fossil fuel infrastructure in Atlanta while accelerating the transition to a clean energy future.

Ebenezer Baptist Church held a forum for City Council President. Once again, I’m the only one who showed up. We talked about affordability, public safety, Cornelius Taylor, and the threat of the national guard. I will never take engaging with the community for granted. It’s too important.

Atlanta, meet your future. FIVE bold leaders running to shake up City Hall: 🌟 Kelsea Bond (D2) 🌟 Liliana Bakhtiari (D5) 🌟 Charles Bourgeois (D9) 🌟 Nate Jester (D11) 🌟 Rohit Malhotra (Council President) This is what the next generation of leadership looks like.

Yes, we saw the email. No, we’re not taking the bait. Yes, they darkened my beard and skin and called me a “threat to public safety.” No, we’re not sharing their images. Yes, it was dangerous rhetoric. No, we haven't lost hope. Calling me a threat to public safety is a threat to public safety.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Former City Council President Cathy Woolard endorses Rohit Malhotra and his campaign focused on economic mobility for families, small businesses, and neighborhoods in Atlanta. Woolard… Thank you Council President Woolard for your support!

Gun violence is a public health crisis. Gun violence is a public health crisis. Gun violence is a public health crisis. Gun violence is a public health crisis. Gun violence is a public health crisis. Gun violence is a public health crisis. Gun violence is a public health crisis.

Join me tomorrow for a conversation with former City Council President Cathy Woolard, Community Advocate Zahra Alabanza, and Beltline Visionary Ryan Gravel for a conversation about the future of transit in Atlanta.

Neutrality in this moment is complicity.

I’m proud to endorse @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social, who has a vision for an Atlanta economy that works for everyone and improves economic mobility. Proud to be with my friends @ninaturner.bsky.social and Killer Mike.

No political event is complete without Doritos #IYKYK @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social

Favorite title: older brother. ❤️ Every year my sister & I celebrate Rakhi, honoring the bond between siblings. This campaign, she’s been the one protecting me—pushing me to run, canvassing & fundraising daily. When we win, she’ll be a major reason why…and I’ll owe her oat milk lattes forever. 😊

Heartbroken for my alma mater. In touch with students and faculty. This will have a detrimental and rippling effect. Gun violence is a public health crisis in Atlanta. We need to start treating it like one.

Atlanta doesn’t work without labor. Building collective power for workers is in this city’s DNA— and ensuring worker well-being and safety is at the center of my campaign for City Council President in Atlanta. Thank you to the leaders in Atlanta labor for inviting me to share my vision.

Gun violence is a crisis in Atlanta. From Thursday to Monday, over 30 people were shot in Atlanta in at least 12 separate shootings. In light of harmful state law and federal cuts, Atlanta must invest in evidence-based, community-centered gun-violence prevention, reduction, and intervention.

Every Thursday and Saturday we are spending time with voters and knocking doors in neighborhoods across Atlanta. Get involved in the campaign and join us as we build something special in Atlanta. Visit this link to RSVP: www.mobilize.us/rohitforatla... #rohitforatlanta

When the Concerned Black Clergy calls and asks me to show up, my answer is— and will always be— yes. This week, they hosted a candidate forum for Atlanta City Council President. While I was the only candidate to show up, I enjoyed engaging with faith leaders in our city. So good for the soul. ❤️🙏🏽

Atlanta is better when we engage with each other. Grateful for this conversation and endorsement! ❤️
