Yesterday in downtown Atlanta, over 30 ONE members rallied together at City Hall to receive and celebrate a proclamation declaring Atlanta a City of ONE. After a lively press conference at noon, we all headed to the Council Chamber for the official presentation ceremony. We were also joined by representatives from our partner organizations CARE, Bread for the World and RESULTS, as well as Kennesaw State’s ONE Campus Leader, Audrey Ruark, and Amanda Meng from the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta.

ONE members Nancy Bauer and Kristi Wooten addressed the City Council and received the plaque, officially making Atlanta a City of ONE – a great example of how the work of a few strong-willed and motivated individuals can make a HUGE impact in raising awareness for the world’s poorest people.

Way to go ONE Atlanta! More to come including statements from local and federal Atlanta political leaders and video!
