City of South Fulton leaders hold emergency meeting about Job Corps pause
City of South Fulton leaders said they are already feeling the impacts of the impending Job Corps closures. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Leaders said construction on the new Metro Atlanta Job Corps center stopped years ago and now the community is dealing with land left abandoned. 'We need to hold people accountable,' said councilmember Helen Willis at a press briefing Wednesday. Willis said the structure at Roosevelt Highway and Washington Road was supposed to be the site of the new Metro Atlanta Job Corps center. She said she now fears blight and other issues with the abandoned property, owned by the federal government. Willis told Channel 2's Audrey Washington that while the top priority is finishing the campus for students, if the government does not, she wants the property back in the hands of the city.

Let us develop and revitalize the land. Our community doesn't deserve this. The students don't deserve this,' Councilmember Helen Willis said. 'I mean, it's sad to be honest. It's heartbreaking,' Job Corps graduate Tyric Weaver told Washington. 'It's really disappointing, I ain't gonna lie.' Citing financial issues, last week, the Department of Labor announced a phased pause at contractor-led Job Corps centers nationwide. Right now, students and staff have just days to leave the facilities. [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter] With many of the students being at-risk or homeless, there's now a concern about their welfare. 'Kids, they're really not going to have anywhere to go, they're going to be on the streets,' Weaver explained. 'What's going to happen to thousands of youths?' Willis asked. Now, City of South Fulton leaders are pushing for the Job Corps funding to be reinstated. They said they plan to reach out to Congress members to restore funding.

Target says Philly Pride 365 rejected its sponsorship
Organizers for Philadelphia's Pride Month kickoff last weekend rejected Target's offer to sponsor the event, a company spokesperson tells Axios. The big picture: Pride organizers across the U.S. are reevaluating sponsorships as corporate America pulls back from supporting LGBTQ+ events. Context: Despite boasting more than three dozen sponsors, big corporate backers were missing from Philly's big Pride weekend this year. Those included Wawa, Target, AARP and Burlington, all of which backed the festival last year. Driving the news: Target told Axios in a statement that the company offered to be an official sponsor of Philly Pride 365, but was "informed that they were not entering agreements with corporate entities this year." Philly Pride 365 declined to comment on the matter. Wawa, AARP and Burlington did not respond to Axios' requests for comment. The Urban Affairs Coalition, which recently took over managing Philly Pride 365 and is the event's new fiscal sponsor, didn't immediately return requests for comment. Context: In the past, the budget for Philly's Pride weekend has been paid for through sponsors, vendors, grants and donations, per the Inquirer. Between the lines: Target has faced backlash over its rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, as well as removing Pride merchandise from its shelves in recent years.
