Atlantans Together Against Crime (ATAC) and the Virginia Highland Church are co-sponsoring a community forum Monday, October 5, 2009 from 6:30 pm until 8:00 pm. The event is free and open to the public. The forum will facilitate an open dialogue between concerned citizens, leaders within the LGBT community, and the Atlanta Police Department and will address concerns rising from the September 10, 2009 raid of The Eagle.

The forum aims to be a positive, productive, and pro-active meeting meant to foster dialogue, answer questions, and move relationships forward. Specific questions concerning The Eagle raid cannot be answered due to the outstanding investigation; however, questions of protocol, procedure, and others will be welcomed.

A press release with all confirmed attendees from the Atlanta Police Department as well as community organizations will be sent out this Friday, October 2, 2009.

For more information on attending, participating, or covering this event, please contact Kyle Keyser at (404) 217-1024 or kyle@atlantanstogether.org.

This forum is not a political function for any candidate for public office.
