Atlanta - The Campaign for Change Atlanta University Center Office is located at 643 Martin Luther King, JR Drive on the campus of Morris Brown College. The Atlanta University Center, known to most as the AUC, is comprised of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, and Spelman College. The office acts as a hub of operations for Students for Barack Obama and Field Organizers with the Campaign for Change.
Students from the AUC, acting in volunteer leadership roles, work in conjunction with Campaign for Change Field Organizers to take action in the local Atlanta community by registering voters, planning organizational meetings, coordinating Unite for Change house parties, and contacting undecided voters. Utilizing the office as a staging location for their efforts, students in the AUC have been registering voters and working towards providing a voice to some of the poorest, disenfranchised neighborhoods in the city.
The youth movement that is happening across the country and began for this campaign in Iowa, has continued to grow. The efforts at the Campaign for Change AUC office highlight the continued involvement and ownership the youth has in Barack Obama's movement for change. When the Campaign for Change sat down with Dr. Joseph Lowry, the Dean of the Civil Rights movement a couple of weeks ago, he talked about youth involvement in community and politics and stated:
"Throughout history when change has happened, students were at the forefront of these movements. When students move, America moves."
The Students for Barack Obama organizing in the AUC are at the forefront of this movement for change here in Atlanta. Check out this behind the scenes video of the AUC students painting their office and getting ready to open the AUC Campaign for Change office:
