In May and June, WCA Staff attended two Georgia STAND-UP Alliance Meetings and listening sessions held to prepare the upcoming Community Issues Platform for the Mayoral and City Council Elections.
The sessions consisted of rotating groups broken out into issue areas such as Education, Transit, and Jobs in May and Mayoral, Council, and Executive Committee in June. Facilitators at each station would stimulated conversation about the topic and wrote down what issues concerns that attendees raised. These issues were then prioritized by those present.
The platform will be compiled and published into a report ready for the next Georgia STAND-UP meeting in August.
The October meeting will host candidates for the November elections.
