The goal of wakeATL is to bring awareness to social issues and help establish a dialogue between activist organizations and the community through the use of music, visual art, literature, lectures, and workshops designed to educate, motivate, and engage each other into becoming more active in daily life.
The third installment of wakeATL : Call to Action will focus on local resistance. How can we resist the new administration on a local level? One step is to strategically place people in local seats of power including City Council and Mayor. Senator Vincent Fort will be speaking at the event about his mayoral campaign and how he is dedicated to establish Atlanta as a sanctuary city.
ATL 4 Fort and other local organizations will be providing resources and tools for anyone who is interested in becoming more active in local resistance movements as well as updates on upcoming events/protests/etc.
