  6. This Wednesday, organizers from Block Cop City will be doing a local teach-in at our co-op! Their presentation will include information on the history of the land The Atlanta Police Foundation is attempting to build on, a history of the movement to #StopCopCity, an outline of the movement's next phase #BlockCopCity, and a short workshop to help interested folks form affinity groups and participate in the November weekend of action. We hope you'll join us!

    "Aside from bringing people to Atlanta, we hope to spread skills and creativity related to mass direct action and participatory, democratic mass organizing, strengthening the prospects for other, local struggles."—Block Cop City organizers

  9. #BlockCopCity group issues call for mass action to stop construction

    "The group says it plans to hold a 50-city tour in the runup to the mass action and then a convening in Atlanta beginning Nov. 10 and ending with the mass action at the construction site."
    (...)
    “It is useless to wait,” the landing page of the group’s website reads. “With our future on the line and the whole world watching, we’ll take a stand to bend the course of history. If the city government does not halt construction in order to listen to the people, then we will simply have to do it ourselves: a People’s Stop Work Order.”

  10. MNPD chief is going to make a request for funds to make a "state of the art" training facility in #Nashville. This is why #StopCopCity is important regardless of what city you live in, because it doesn't stop in #Atlanta.

    The last thing our city needs is more cops. How about we try better public transit, affordable housing, anything else.

  11. Looks like there's yet another bank trying to bail out the Atlanta Police Foundation's heinous #CopCity project. This is bad news - but it also shows that the APF is desperate for money, so the more we cut off their sources the closer we are to winning. Call these bank officials and put some pressure on them! Make it politically unviable for them to support Cop City! There are literally so many better ways to use that kind of money.

  13. The arrest of the Atlanta Solidarity fund organizers is one of the most important escalations in the country. If #Georgia gets away with this, it will set a precedent for activists across the country.

    Such overt authoritarianism can only be met by increased resistance and organizing.

  14. The Fight Against #CopCity

    The protests in Atlanta build on a history of organizers challenging prison construction as a force for environmental destruction.

    by Amna A. Akbar, May 10, 2023

    "Locals often describe Atlanta as “a city in a forest,” with trees and a tree canopy covering almost half of the land. The ecosystem depends on this foliage, and activists say that the deforestation required to build the facility will harm air quality, hasten climate change, and contribute to flooding in predominantly poor and working-class Black and brown communities. The proposed development will further distance residents from accessible green space while bringing toxic waste closer. But the project will do more than fracture the largest green space in Atlanta. The activists fighting against Cop City argue that police violence itself constitutes an environmental hazard, and that toxic chemicals associated with explosives that could be used on the site will destroy the air, water, and land on which myriad forms of life depend."

  15. Folks in #Atlanta Won’t Accept ‘#CopCity

    #HBCU students, faculty, and community activists have joined forces to stop the environmentally destructive police training facility.

    By Maya Richard-Craven, Word In Black, May 10, 2023

    "#Environmental activists have long raised concerns about 'Cop City' due to its potential #ecological impact. The facility is slated to be built in the #WeelauneeForest (South River), a tract of undeveloped #forested land that serves as an essential #GreenSpace and #CarbonSink for the city. Activists say losing this green space would contribute to increased #AirPollution, decreased #biodiversity, and the exacerbation of #ClimateChange.

    "Along with concern about the environmental impact, opposition to 'Cop City' from the #Black community also stems from fears of racial profiling, over-policing, and strained police-community relations. Critics argue that the allocated funds should be redirected to address systemic issues affecting Black residents, such as education and community development, rather than expanding policing resources."

  16. "Teran had at least 57 gunshot wounds in their body, according to the autopsy, including in the hands, torso, legs and head.
    According to the autopsy sent to ABC News, Teran did not have gunpowder residue on their hands. Officials claimed Teran fired the first shot at a state trooper. Officers then responded with gunfire."

  17. COP CITY WILL NEVER BE BUILT 🔥

    According to Atlanta Community Press Collective, at 8:25pm today, DeKalb County sent out a press release regarding a stop work order for cop city because of erosion concerns. I'm really freaking out right now!!

    Stop Cop City everywhere, defend the land anywhere

    Full press release here: documentcloud.org/documents/23

  18. "The civil rights attorney said the case to date bore similarities to one in which she defended Phoenix-area Black Lives Matter protesters. In that case, all criminal charges against protesters were dropped – including more than 100 felony rioting charges and attempts to tie defendants to what she called a “fake criminal street gang … that does not and has never existed, except as a boogeyman in the state’s head.”

    Fallout in the case includes multiple resignations, demotions and even criminal investigations against prosecutors and police, after falsified evidence and other law enforcement abuses were revealed. “I heard all of the same things” at the bond hearing, she said. What happened in Phoenix, she said, “should serve as a warning as to what might happen in Atlanta."

  19. No #CopCity Anywhere: Governor Unveils Cop City NJ Plans

    "U.S. white power establishment wants to build cop city everywhere.
    You are encouraged to heed the call and example from the Welaunee Forest: give them hell, everywhere.
    Your courage, creativity, and connections will determine just how badly the U.S. empire will regret their choice to double down on policing the planet after 2020."

  20. "What’s indisputable is that police repression has extended into all corners of this movement, amounting to a profoundly undemocratic exertion of state power. From the outset, the voices of the people have been marginalized and subsumed under deference to Atlanta’s police state.

    As in the days of brutal repression of the civil rights movement, so too are the levers of state power aligned against the Stop Cop City movement. But there are also reasons for hope. Despite the best efforts of Atlanta authorities to contain the movement, to smear those standing in solidarity as outside agitators, this movement is both intersectional and multilocational.

    Beyond the week of action, the battle to stop Cop City continues, in forms ranging from sabotage to legal battles over environmental permitting minutiae. Only time will tell how this movement resolves — whether it succumbs to police repression or whether Cop City will indeed never be built. But it’s been a hell of a fight so far, with the full force of state power brought against the protesters that dare to defy it."

  23. Atlanta Cop City Protesters Charged With Domestic Terror for Having Mud on Their Shoes

    "In an aggressive and indiscriminate arrest sweep on Sunday, police stormed a music festival held in the Atlanta forest by activists protesting Cop City, a vast police training facility under construction atop forestland. Twenty-three of the activists arrested in the raid now
    face domestic terrorism charges for their participation in the Defend the Atlanta Forest movement."

  24. A Few Words Against Rats
    "today, as fires spread and rocks flew, some rats scurried among the brave…"

    “journalists”, or whatever those professional snitches call themselves, recorded photos and videos of forest defenders from positions within and around the crowd. with their fancy lenses and closeup angles, this footage reveals a much higher level of detail than APD’s own camera towers, and will inevitably become a tool of the coming police investigations.

    we smash security cameras without a second thought. the ones that happen to have two legs should be treated no differently."

  26. "The state and ruling class are trying to create the impression that they are beating our movement. In fact, they are running out of options, falling back on ever harsher methods of coercion and ever more transparent ploys for consent. If this line of effort fails, their only choice will be to double-down on repression and trigger a bigger political crisis – or to retreat."

    "Militants tagged bank windows with “defend the forest”, “fuck 12”, “eat shit Frey” and “rest in peace Tortuguita and Tyre Nichols”.
    Our message of solidarity extends past written words to the shattered windows and broken ATMs in our wake.
    We appreciate the work of the bloc tonight in Minneapolis. Drawing the attention of and keeping distracted an entire city’s pig department is no easy task in these freezing temperatures. Your bravery is radiant.

  35. New article on our site. We can now confirm that Nathan Damigo, violent white supremacist and former leader of the white nationalist group Identity Evropa, has recently been attempting to doxx forest defenders in Atlanta on behalf of his "William McKinley Institute" group. The WMI (which is also virulently antisemitic) has been heavily promoted by fascist propagandist Andy Ngo. Damigo is being provided lodging at the Buckhead property of Sam Dickson, a known white supremacist lawyer and real estate speculator who makes his money by ripping off working-class Black homeowners in the south of Atlanta.

    Read the article for full details... and keep a close eye out for Damigo.
