![]() Talk to your neighbors, call city council, provide aid to the forest defenders if you can. There's a ton more information on their Twitter & their other social media in the linktree. City Council would never dream of allowing forest to be destroyed & Cop City to be built in Buckhead or other whiter, wealthier areas of ATL (not that it should be built at all!!) They pulled the same stunt with the juvenile detention center in Decatur like 20 years earlier.Īnd I'm sure no one will be surprised to hear that this is in a predominantly black neighborhood in ATL. I think it was something like 13 hours of calls, 65% disapproval of Cop City. The Cop City news caught a lot of citizens surprised, and after a lot of push back, Atlanta City Council was basically like "Okay, fine, here's a day everyone can call in and comment". ![]() The plan is bigger than the NYPD training ground iirc. There is a massive plan to essentially make a fake-city for APD and other law enforcement agencies to train in, to practice their increased militarization. One to build MORE film studios for Blackhall Studios (think Venom, Jumanji), and the other - Cop City. Two huge areas in south/southeast Atlanta have been bought & there are plans to raze the forest. The situation, as you can imagine, is fucked.
