The nuns, who focus on civil rights and social justice causes nationwide, contacted Amalgamated Transit Union, which is a member of the Friends of Clayton Transit about coming to the community, FCT founding president Roberta Abdul-Salaam said Wednesday. The nuns will be at the Friends of Clayton Transit headquarters, 6483 Ga. Hwy 85 in Riverdale, at 11 a.m on Friday. Clayton is set to vote on Nov. 4 on whether to join MARTA.
