On August 18, 2011, Literacy Action met with Fulton County Board of Commissioners Chairman, John Eaves, in an effort to continue the community discussion on eradicating adult low-literacy.

LAI President and CEO, Karen Webster Parks and LAI Board Members, David Peterson (chair), Chris Miller and JaKathryn Ross, sat down with Chairman Eaves and Director of Constituent Services, Aaron Johnson, to discuss the astonishing number of low-literate Atlantans, how these numbers impact the community and what Literacy Action is doing to end the intergenerational cycle of illiteracy.

With more than 800,000 adults in metro Atlanta considered functionally illiterate, this issue is heavily connected to many social ills that plague not only our city, but nation as a whole. Issues such as unemployment, poverty and crime would be far less detrimental with an educated population.

Literacy Action is confident that by educating the public on this issue, we as a community will not only be able to change the lives of low-literate adults, but make a dramatic impact on generations to come.
Join us in making the change today!
