Mayor Andre Dickens and the Office of Violence Reduction

Mayor Andre Dickens and the Mayor’s Office of Violence Reduction are committed to promoting proactive efforts to shift the cultural rules, norms, and constructs that support domestic violence and support the health and well-being of individuals, families, communities, and institutions.

This commitment aligns with our values as people who care deeply about creating a society free from violence and suffering. We stand together in this effort, united by our shared dreams of a better world and our determination to make those dreams a reality.

Through the Mayor’s initiatives, we aim to foster a culture that values empathy, compassion, and justice. Together, we can build a future where every person is respected, supported, and safe.

Domestic violence impacts millions of people each year, but it can be prevented. It requires the collective voice and power of individuals, families, institutions, and systems – each contributing their “one thing” to transform our communities.

Awareness + Action = Social Change

The action component of this equation is a natural extension of the awareness and education opportunities that individuals and communities are engaged in throughout the year. By integrating action steps, no matter how small, we can build our communities’ capacity to take the lead in changing social and cultural norms that support domestic violence.

‘Do 1 Thing’ is about harnessing the momentum of our movements, especially at their critical points of intersection, by calling people to specific and direct collective actions informed by the communities most directly impacted.

Advancing Atlanta Social Change

Each of our “one things” and collective actions are critical to the story of our movement. While each may be unique and personal, when woven together, they create a strong foundation for the Atlanta we imagine. When our “one things” are put into action, they become concrete steps on the pathway to social change. Building that pathway is an investment we make together.
