In June of 2020, the Cobb Board of Commissioners approved a resolution condemning racism, in the wake of tragic incidents in this country, and reaffirming its commitment to provide an environment that supports civil rights for all.
The board also adopted a resolution in support of a state Hate Crimes Bill that addresses crimes involving bias, hate, bigotry or prejudice. The unanimous decision encourages the Cobb legislative delegation to continue working closely with the state legislature in adopting the bill.
