Hi everyone,

Starting this Monday, Feb 20, join a week of action in solidarity with the Weelaunee Forest (Atlanta Forest) Defenders. The City of Atlanta has leased 381 acres of Weelaunee Forest, stolen Muscogee land, to the Atlanta Police Foundation for a police military facility — also known as “Cop City.” The surrounding area is primarily home to Black residents who overwhelmingly oppose Cop City, and who are already facing increased police hostility and surveillance as part of “Operation Shield.” It is important we stand with those on the frontlines of this fight, to support them as they protect the Weelaunee Forest and the surrounding Atlanta community. Learn more about the Cop City project here.

Stand in solidarity with the Forest Defenders by taking action next week:

  • Show up in person to one of the following events
  • Follow @atlantajusticealliance, @defendatlantaforest, and @stopcopcity on social media
  • Donate to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund
  • Learn more ways to take action @ linktr.ee/stopcopcitylinks

Join our partners hosting solidarity events next week:
