Sample email/phone message (personal messages always go further!): I am contacting the Stone Mountain Park Memorial Association to request you take immediate action to remove Confederate flags, rename Park streets, buildings and features that honor Confederate and Ku Klux Klan figures and issue a public anti-racism statement to deter hate groups that continue to be attracted to our public park. Our society now understands that memorializing the Confederacy and promoting myths of the Lost Cause only serve to further divide us and attract violence.

Contact Georgia Legislators about SB 158
Please email the following legislators. Ask them to remove their support of SB 158 because this Bill is a distraction from the removal of Confederate symbols of hate at Stone Mountain Park.
Many of these democratic senators are unaware that the SMMA intends to use this bell installation to avoid addressing racist symbols, the Confederate flags on display and the slave cabins, a racist and offensive spectacle.
The bell is an attempt to sidestep addressing the rising violent disruptions at the Park. Instead of the SMMA discouraging hate groups who consider the park home (due to the Park’s history with the KKK) by issuing an anti-racism or anti-hatred statement they believe the placement of a bell is a solution.
The bell is not a solution for a park that was designed to intimidate and terrorize people of color by featuring racist and Confederate symbols. (Refer to the “for amusement” mock plantation and big house).
