SCENES FROM THE ATLANTA FOREST CLOSES DOWN
Posted on November 25, 2024 by unoffensiveadmin
"This project has come to a close.
The noblogs team Autistici/Inventati decided to shut down this blog shortly following the republication of the Heritage Foundation dox from againstbeltwayfascism.noblogs.org and after the dox of the Elbit Systems of America. This blog hosted a great deal of antagonistic content over the years, and we are thankful to the Autistici/Inventati team for allowing a majority of the content to remain up for so long. They undoubtedly tolerated a great deal of resistance – we trust that their decision to shut down the blog did not come lightly."This site served as a nexus for anonymous publication, a space for engaging in dialogue with other rebels, and a place to spread complicity and proliferate autonomous activitiy.
"Please keep those who are languishing in jails for accusations related to this movement in your hearts- better yet, send them letters.
"Continue fighting for the end of RICO charges.
"Never forget Tortuguita, a hero whose bravery cannot be understated.
"Continue fighting for a world without markets, hierarchy, and fascism.
"For a time, the struggle in the atlanta forest was one of the powerful torches that carried the flames of antagonstic anarchist destruction. We hold our actions in this struggle proudly, and hope you do as well.
"We will never forget the weelaunee forest, we will never forgive those that perpetrated its destruction.
!Viva Tortuguita!
Nothing is Finished
Everything Continues"https://unoffensiveanimal.is/2024/11/25/scenes-from-the-atlanta-forest-closes-down/

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."

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."

"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."

"Les actions se multiplient contre le projet de construction du plus grand centre d’entraînement privé de la #police américaine à #Atlanta, dans l’État de la #Géorgie. Que ce soit des rassemblements, des manifestations ou encore l’occupation de la forêt de #Weelaunee pour éviter sa destruction lors de la mise en chantier, les moyens de résistance sont multiples. Toutefois, plus la résistance est féroce et plus la répression augmente jusqu’à culminer avec l’assassinat par la police de Manuel « Tortuguita » Teran en janvier dernier alors qu’il participait à l’occupation."

“Son”, he said in Spanish, “you forgot your suitcase. But you won’t be needing it in the journey you’re on … I’m sorry I didn’t always understand you, or what you were doing. But now I do.”
