We are doing voter registration (and hopefully some volunteer recruitment) today at the East Atlanta Village Farmers Market (if the rain holds out!).

Yesterday, several team coordinators - Ann, Naeemah, Reed, & me - met with Peter (our brave leader with the campaign's Fulton County HQ) to discuss getting our activities ramped up between now and OCTOBER 6 (last day to change address or register to vote!!). Our other goal is to recruit volunteers to do voter registration and then GOTV (get out the vote) for Obama on November 4. Some locations that we thought of IN OUR TURF (or nearby) include:

the EAV famers market (Thursday afternoon and evening) & EAV in general,
the market at the Shed in Glenwood Pak (Saturday morning),
the area on North Hioghland near the Grape, the Parish, Fritti, etc. (after work and on weekends)
L5P post office, Sevananda, etc
the Inman Park MARTA station
the MLK national monument
Parkgrounds coffeeshop in Reynoldstown (after work and on weekends) (good place to reach reynoldstown and cabbagetown residents)
Southside High School

Please leave your suggestions in the comments!!

There are a lot of condos and townhouses that are gated in our area and we need to brainstorm ways to reach people who live there.

Events coming up IN or NEAR OUR TURF that will be good place to reach people include:

East Atlata Strut
Grant Park Shade Festival

Do you know of other little festivals in our area? Please leave suggestions in the comments!!

Please leave any ideas here!
