Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement, Oconee Street Methodist team up

Since last year s protests across the country, some local advocacy organizations have seen renewed interest in their missions, and for Mokah Jasmine Johnson, this has helped shine a light on a topic important to her: the criminal justice system. Johnson, president and co-founder of the Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement, said when she jumped into activism, her main focus was to address discrimination and racism.
