THE COBB UNITED for CHANGE COALITION

Where:  Cobb County Central Library, 266 Roswell Street, Marietta GA  30060

WHY:  The community members of Cobb County and surrounding counties plan to meet to voice their concerns about what is happening in their communities.  The most compelling issues that plague our communities throughout Georgia are as follows:

 -         Human Rights and Immigration Issues

-         Foreclosure problem in Georgia; and Occupy Our Homes Campaign

-         Strategy planning and discuss what topics we will focus on; and how we will take immediate action on issues within the community

 GOAL:  To facilitate an intelligent, open and effective dialogue, assisting all Cobb and surrounding county community members to reach for amiable solutions to current issues that are negatively affecting our communities, counties and community members, including:

1. Finding common ground with the Latino, Asian, White and Black communities and all residents of Cobb County.
2. We want to hear from the community as to what the vital issues are.
3. Find out from the community who or what do they feel threatened by the most.
4. We hope that the community will leave with a sense of comfort and shared positive knowledge on how to communicate better with police and with each other.
