Cobb County, GA--- Local civil rights and community leaders, together with concerned voters, will gather and rally to support the Cobb Legislative Delegation’s proposed redistricting maps. Three GOP renegades are attempting to impose their wills on and disenfranchise the voters of Cobb County. Dr. Ben Williams, President of the Cobb County Chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), founded by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., stated, “Many in the South gave their lives fighting for the right to vote and to have everyone’s vote count.” The redistricting maps, proposed by the three GOP renegade members of the Cobb Delegation, not only subverts the well-established redistricting and democratic process, it is also a throwback to Jim Crow days clearly meant to dilute the Black and Brown vote for partisan reasons. Their actions can only be described as a classic white supremacy practice that attempts to impose the will of three White GOP members of the Cobb Delegation over the will of the entire Cobb Delegation, including Black members and other people of color. This is classic racism 101.
At the rally of those who share our interest in fighting to protect the experiment to live in a healthy democracy, we will share our plans to stand up, speak out and resist all terroristic processes impacting people of color.
