After years of community mobilization against Cop City, Atlanta City Council has failed our communities again. Now, Atlantans are taking our power back. The Vote to Stop Cop City coalition is organizing to put a referendum on the ballot this November. copcityvote.com

Today, Atlantans woke up to the news that the City Clerk, in direct defiance of Council's orders, published unredacted personal information of every petition signer & witness. We are exploring legal avenues against this indefensible choice. Our statement: tinyurl.com/sccstatement

Tortuguita’s memory and the memories of all those stolen by police killings demand that we all continue the collective struggle for a future without state violence. In their name, we fight to Stop Cop City and build a better world.

Today during public comment, a supporter of Cop City told two Asian American members of our coalition to "go back to where you came from" from the podium. These actions are unacceptable, racist, xenophobic, and disgusting. We denounce them unequivocally.

Last night’s beautiful tifo at @ATLUTD vs Orlando in support of the movement to #stopcopcity and #defendtheatlantaforest. Our volunteers had a great afternoon canvassing the tailgate for our weekend of action, and we were thrilled to see this banner at the start of the match!

These brave Atlantans occupied the @atlcouncil seats to contrast the people’s will with the Council’s rejection of democracy.
