We need to tell our legislators to pass two bills in the Georgia General Assembly, which will give us right to vote for on a referendum for Buckhead cityhood!
There are two bills in the Georgia General Assembly for Buckhead cityhood, one in the Senate and the one in the House. If the legislature passes one of these bills by a majority vote in both chamber and if it is signed by the Governor, then residents of Buckhead will be given a referendum in November of 2022.
You are welcome to customize your own message, but we have template messages below. There are emails and phone numbers also listed below for key Republicans and Democrats in both chambers. Tell them to vote YES on these bills!

Subject: Buckhead Cityhood: Give us the Right to Vote!
Dear Senator or Representative:
I am a resident of Buckhead in Atlanta and I am contacting you because we need action from our state leaders to address the uncontrollable crime in our community. Every week, there are more stories in the news of Buckhead residents getting robbed, shot, stabbed, and murdered. Our police officers are doing the best they can, but our residents and business owners feel unsafe to go to the grocery store, go out to eat, and even go for a walk or jog.
There are currently two bills, one in the Georgia House of Representatives (HB 854 https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/60883) and in the Georgia Senate, for Buckhead to incorporate as its own city. I am asking that you to support these bills so that our community can have the right to vote in a referendum in November of 2022.
With Buckhead City, we will have our own police force which will be respected, fully funded, and appropriately trained. This is the best solution to reduce crime. Our community is in crisis as Buckhead is a war zone. You, as our elected representative, have the power to help us create Buckhead City and establish a new police force to protect our community.
Respectfully,
YOUR NAME

Dear Senator or Representative,

We are asking the legislature to hold an immediate hearing in the Senate Local and Governmental Operations Committee on the viability of our proposal and the total failure of the City of Atlanta to deal with violent crime. Please schedule a public hearing so we can have an opportunity to present our evidence to the legislature how a new Buckhead City, which will include its own police department, is the only viable option left to curb this crime in our community.
