Canopy Atlanta
Canopy Atlanta collaborates with residents to tell stories about their communities—neighborhood by neighborhood. We redefine who journalism is by and for.

Six years ago, Canopy Atlanta started telling stories that don't usually make the news—and the community showed up.
NeighborFest ATL is our way of saying thanks, and of imagining what's next. Join us Saturday, June 13th from noon to 3pm at CreateATL for a half-day gathering featuring a keynote conversation, community sessions, and recognition for our journalism fellows.
This event is free and open to everyone. Come ready to connect.

Less than 9 percent of Georgians eat the recommended amount of vegetables. In majority Black neighborhoods across Atlanta, only 36 percent of small grocery stores carry fresh produce at all.
