Do you have a story or something to say?

We are looking for stories from individuals and businesses that have been impacted by the Park’s Confederate symbols and the hate groups that are attracted to them (including the recent protest in Stone Mountain Village). These stories play a critical role in telling story of the Park’s true impact and need for change.

To share your story or short video (less than 5 minutes!), complete the below form or email stonemountainaction@gmail.com. We can also arrange to record a short video interview in-person (socially distanced) or via Zoom. Anonymous submissions are permitted.

We are looking for stories from, but not limited to:

  • Stone Mountain Park visitors

  • Local residents impacted by the Park and/or protests

  • Employees (Stone Mountain Park, Marriott and REI)

  • Georgia residents that choose NOT to visit the Park

  • Educators (Georgia history and/or field trips)

  • Local businesses impacted by the Park and/or protests

  • Companies that choose NOT to do business with the Park

  • Companies that choose NOT to hold events at the Park
