Cobb Alcohol Taskforce 2nd Annual Youth Summit Council

The Cobb Alcohol Taskforce Youth Council is a youth-led movement. Never before has an issue required the guts and spirit of youth to move it forward; to shake the cages of communities everywhere to make changes, to rattle adults out of complacency, and to rub the sleep out of politician’s eyes and get them to wake up to the problem of underage and youth binge drinking that affects thousands of youth everyday.

The Take It Back Movement is about youth power, youth influence, and youth brains. It’s about imagining the future different, telling the truth, using data to back the story, refusing censorship, staying at the edge, creating action, and generating results. It’s about youth coming together to make a difference in underage and youth binge drinking.
