CALL TO ACTION! Demand @andreforatlanta issue an immediate stop work order for bulldozing in South River Forest. No work should be happening while they're under investigation. Tweet at him, call him 404-330-6041, get your workplace/school to write him a formal letter, etc!

A courthouse building under construction by Cop City contractor Brasfield & Gorrie partially collapsed yesterday here in Savannah. B&G endangers workers and communities everywhere. #StopCopCity wjcl.com/article/savannah-fe…

Atlanta, GA: Today, a group of 30-40 people gathered in front of the home of Shephard Long, principal of Long Engineering, one of the subcontractors hired to build the “Public Safety Training Center,” also known as “Cop City” in the Atlanta forest.

About 10 APD and unmarked vehicles are parked on Key Road by the forest, entering into the gate at the Old Atlanta Prison Farm. Reports are they were met with a flaming barricade. Text 470-606-1212 for text alerts and calls to action.

Demand ATT divest from APF and their militarized urban warfare training center #StopCopCity
#StopCopCity Remember disconnect from AT&T. Tell them to stop funding Cop City. Join us May 11 at 4pm if you in Atlanta. Meet at the North Ave Marta Station. March on the AT&T Headquarters, it's still No to Cop City

At some point the simplest answer is that elected officials in big cities are afraid of the police.

Yall say you love Malcolm, but Malcolm was a revolutionary, a freedom fighter, he wanted to overturn systems, he was a militant, nationalist, a pan-Africanist, & an internationalist. His comrades were socialists and communists. He was not a reformist, he was ready for revolution

this is the first time the public has been able to see the actual final version of the cop city lease. it was not provided voluntarily, but rather from some scrappy volunteers doing GORA requests (georgia version of FOIA)
Fresh copy of the cop city lease agreement if you need something to do today 👀 #ATLScanner #StopCopCity atlpresscollective.com/2022/…

ALERT: Alan Williams, the Atlanta Police Foundation project manager for Cop City, is leading a bulldozer into the Atlanta Forest right now. More forest defenders are needed to stop work near the ponds on the Old Atlanta Prison Farm land.

No bulldozers have returned to the forest at the old atlanta prison farm since Reeves Young were chased out by land defenders last Tuesday! However, Long Engineering, the surveyors contracted for cop city, is on site today. Call them: 770-951-2495. #stopcopcity

These verdicts ain't justice. Night of the verdict, 6 pm, Centennial Olympic Park, #ATL. Bring last summer's energy, your rage, your light. For Ahmaud Arbery. Rayshard Brooks. Alexia Christian. For you. For us.
Please donate and/or boost!
The Atlanta Police Foundation proposes to build the racist Cop City police training facility on Muscogee land. Muscogee folks from ceremonial grounds in Eastern Oklahoma will be performing a stomp dance in the forest on 11/27. gofundme.com/f/support-musco…
