Friends, 

The Atlanta IAC prepares this list of activities and events as a way to 
further solidarity and support among the many progressive organizations in the 
metro area. We urge your attendance and participation. Our goal is to build a 
greater unity and strengthen the movement as we struggle on so many fronts for 
justice and equality.

If you wish us to include an event, please send the information by the Sunday 
a week prior to the date.

A reminder that the Task Force for the Homeless is hoping to collect 1000 new 
or gently-used coats and jackets to distribute at the Nov. 1 events, marking 
the start of National Hunger and Homeless Month. Please call Melana Pavich at 
404.230.5000 ext. 169 to make arrangements for dropping off your donations.
