FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement (AADM) is calling on the community to join us for Advocacy Day on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, at 6:00 PM at Athens City Hall. The event aims to gather widespread support for a groundbreaking resolution addressing racial inequities in housing, economic opportunity, and youth development for Black and minority communities in Athens.
The AADM Proposed Resolution highlights systemic disparities and outlines actionable steps to create a more equitable community. Focus areas include:
- Housing: Addressing discriminatory housing practices and ensuring access to affordable, safe housing.
- Economic Justice: Promoting job opportunities, equitable wages, and support for minority-owned businesses.
- Youth Equity: Providing resources, mentorship, and programs that empower youth from underserved communities.
“This resolution represents a necessary step to continue dismantling systemic inequities that have impacted Black and minority residents for far too long,” said Mokah Jasmine Johnson, Co-Founder of AADM. “We’re rallying the community to show the city’s leaders that this is not just an agenda item – it’s a call for action.”
AADM’s goal is to pack City Hall with residents, allies, and advocates to demonstrate the urgent need for this resolution and ensure local leaders take bold steps toward racial justice.
