In the Spirit of Operational Unity and working for the Common Good of all of our youth, the Atlanta Million Youth Movement Organizers, composed of students, youth, youth organizers, and concerned individuals realize that there are many efforts, activities, marches, and rallies underway that serve to focus on the plight of young people everywhere. Specifically, in addition to the Movement in Atlanta, there is a March planned in New York.

We do not see 2 marches as divisive in any way as long as we are centered on the principle of improving the lives of our youth, and not personality. Further, we believe it will help focus more attention on the plight of our young people. We believe that the more people and groups standing up to address the myriad of issues eclipsing the hopes and dreams of young people, the better.

When we look at the draconian measures being taken against young people in this country, we believe we need a million youth standing up in every city!

Working in the same cause for the best interest of young people willl help us shape a better future which means a better world for all of us.

Let's go to work! There are millions of youth who need to be helped!

In peace

The Organizers of the Million Youth Movement in Atlanta, Georgia are calling for all organizers around the country, as well as concerned individuals, to join us in a one day spiritual fast on Thursday, August 27, 1998. We will pray and ask the Lord to bless us with success and to watch over, with His Protecting Hand, the lives of all of our youth regardless to where they go during the Labor Day weekend.
