Atlantans Together & Safe Atlanta for Everyone (SAFE) are holding a vigil and rally next Wednesday, Jan 12th from 6:30pm – 7:30pm on the steps of City Hall (Mitchell Street entrance). The vigil will be remembering those lost to violent crime in 2010. After a prayer service & moment of silence, we will rally for reduced crime in 2011 & beyond by reminding City Hall to address the root causes of crime in our city.

We believe that Mayor Reed has done a good job in his first year addressing our public safety infrastructure and the police department. However, it does not stop there. We will be reminding him and other city leaders that we need bold, visionary leadership in addressing crime at its root – and for ALL neighborhoods of Atlanta.
