<p>Points of Discussion At CAIR Phone Conference Call...</p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,Helvetica,EmojiFont,&quot; apple color emoji&quot;,&quot;segoe ui emoji&quot;,notocoloremoji,&quot;segoe ui symbol&quot;,&quot;android emoji&quot;,emojisymbols; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">1) During the 2019 legislative session at the Georgia General Assembly, we plan to support two resolutions designed to support the community on Sapelo Island. </p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,Helvetica,EmojiFont,&quot; apple color emoji&quot;,&quot;segoe ui emoji&quot;,notocoloremoji,&quot;segoe ui symbol&quot;,&quot;android emoji&quot;,emojisymbols; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"></p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,Helvetica,EmojiFont,&quot; apple color emoji&quot;,&quot;segoe ui emoji&quot;,notocoloremoji,&quot;segoe ui symbol&quot;,&quot;android emoji&quot;,emojisymbols; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">The first, a symbolic resolution, would acknowledge the history of the island's Gullah Geechee community, and the importance of preserving that community. The second <span style="font-size: 16px;">resolution would, ideally</span><span style="font-size: 16px;">, protect the remaining families from drastic increases in their property taxes (which the county has pursued in the past so as</span><span style="font-size: 16px;"> to force the community off the land, making way for tourist homes and businesses; a federal court blocked such increases for years, but the block is about the expire).</span></p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,Helvetica,EmojiFont,&quot; apple color emoji&quot;,&quot;segoe ui emoji&quot;,notocoloremoji,&quot;segoe ui symbol&quot;,&quot;android emoji&quot;,emojisymbols; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"></p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,Helvetica,EmojiFont,&quot; apple color emoji&quot;,&quot;segoe ui emoji&quot;,notocoloremoji,&quot;segoe ui symbol&quot;,&quot;android emoji&quot;,emojisymbols; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">We would welcome and encourage your organizations to support these resolutions during the legislative session.</p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,Helvetica,EmojiFont,&quot; apple color emoji&quot;,&quot;segoe ui emoji&quot;,notocoloremoji,&quot;segoe ui symbol&quot;,&quot;android emoji&quot;,emojisymbols; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"></p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,Helvetica,EmojiFont,&quot; apple color emoji&quot;,&quot;segoe ui emoji&quot;,notocoloremoji,&quot;segoe ui symbol&quot;,&quot;android emoji&quot;,emojisymbols; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">2) Sometime in the first half of 2019, a group of us may visit Sapelo Island to meet the community members, tour the island, learn more about its Muslim origins, and thereby held spread awareness about the conditions there. If you're interested in joining such trip, let me know.</p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,Helvetica,EmojiFont,&quot; apple color emoji&quot;,&quot;segoe ui emoji&quot;,notocoloremoji,&quot;segoe ui symbol&quot;,&quot;android emoji&quot;,emojisymbols; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"></p>

As you may know, the island's historic black community was founded centuries ago by a freed African Muslim slave named Bilali Muhammad. </p>
