We are building the new politics and ethos for resistance movements in the US. They knew this, which is why they are attempting to stop us. Unfortunately for them, the repression was a part of our plan. To support the accused, keep fighting.

The repression is symbolic.
None of the charges will stick.
Locals are not afraid, we are more determined than ever.
Be determined with us.
June 24-July 1

Why are they charging protesters with Domestic Terrorism?
To generate approval for killing someone with their hands up. Dont underestimate how desperate they are to cover this up.
The real target of the charges is Tortuguita. They are killing the dead again and again.

Today would have been Manuel "Tortuguita" Esteban Paez Terán's 27th birthday. We joined activists w/ @NLGChicago, @PilsenCommBooks, & the Weelaunee Defense Society to honor Tortuguita's life & act in solidarity with the movement to #StopCopCity & defend the Waulanee Forest. 🐢
ALT Ten activists stand outside of the Bank of America tower in Downtown Chicago holding a sign that reads, "Happy Birthday Tortuguita." One of the activists also holds a sign that says "Stop Cop City."

We've been saying it since January: police will always lie to the public to cover up their own crimes. Tortuguita never shot at police. Now that the coverup is unraveling, will the public demand accountability? Will GSP get away with murder?

Some people ask if Cop City is only a local to Atlanta thing. The answer is no. A large percentage of pigs that will be trained there will be coming from outside of Atlanta. If the project is completed, it will be repeated elsewhere.

Yesterday 8 Cop City protesters were denied bond, and may be forced to sit in jail until trial. No actual evidence was presented against any of the defendants. The judge's decision was based on innuendo and unsupported claims from the prosecutor. What's going on here? [thread]

But as Tortuguita said:
“Fear is the mind killer. That’s a quote I think about often. I am scared, but you can’t let the fear stop you from doing things, from living, from existing, from resisting.”

Kemp's declaration of a State of Emergency isn't about property damage at Saturday's protests at all. It's about police murdering #TyreNichols and Tortuguita within two weeks of each other. They're trying to instill fear in anyone who stands up against police brutality.

The true emergency, however, is that law enforcement agencies across the country are killing people every day. From #GeorgeFloyd in Minneapolis, #RayshardBrooks in Atlanta, #TyreNichols in Memphis, and of course, Tortuguita.

It has been barely a week since Georgia law enforcement agencies murdered Tortuguita for protesting Cop City.
Today, Governor Brian Kemp declared a State of Emergency that authorizes him to call on as many as 1,000 National Guard troops to quell protests at any moment.

Georgia has - by far - the highest rate of "correctional control" (total # of people in jails, prisons and other forms of confinement + on probation or parole) of any state in the U.S.
