About Us A Message from the Mayor: The American Dream is Alive for Everyone in the City of Atlanta As the birthplace of the Civil Rights movement, being inclusive is a fundamental part of who we are as Atlantans. Metropolitan Atlanta boasts the second fastest growing foreign-born population in the nation and our immigrant and refugee community is fundamental to positioning Atlanta as the commercial and cultural center of the Southeast. As our foreign-born population has grown, so has our City. Between 2000-2012, the City’s foreign-born population grew by nearly 22 percent, from 27,352 to 33,358, while the native-born population grew by less than one percent. Immigrants and refugees enrich Atlanta’s economy by starting businesses at a faster rate than those who were already here and strengthen our cultural and social fabric with diversity of thought and experiences. In the City of Atlanta, nearly one in five children under the age of 18 live in a bilingual or non-English speaking household. It is our responsibility to support and celebrate the diverse heritage of our children—the future leaders who will drive Atlanta’s competitiveness on the global stage. The Welcoming Atlanta initiative brings together city government and community leaders to create a more welcoming and inclusive Atlanta that attracts and retains diverse talent, while ensuring that all Atlantans are meaningfully included and supported by our city programs, regardless of language or country of birth. The new Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs institutionalizes the Welcoming Atlanta initiative within city government and reaffirms my administration’s commitment to supporting and welcoming new arrivals who are already contributing to the prosperity of our great city and are critical to our continued growth. Yet, my administration’s commitment to being a welcoming city is just the first step. It is incumbent upon all of us to find strength in our differences and comfort in our common identity as Atlantans to ensure that Atlanta will once again be on the right side of history as a community that is tolerant, supportive and inclusive of all its neighbors. To all new Atlantans sharing your cultural traditions and innovative ideas, opening up new businesses, diversifying our workforce, furthering your education and seeking the American Dream and a better future for your children – welcome to the City of Atlanta. Sincerely, Kasim Reed Mayor, City of Atlanta Welcoming Atlanta City Staff The Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs was established by Mayor Kasim Reed to institutionalize the Welcoming Atlanta initiative within city government. Welcoming Atlanta began as an initiative of the Chief Service Officer who oversees strategic civic and social welfare priorities for Mayor Reed, including the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs.
