- So I’m currently sitting at the desk of the @CityofAtlanta municipal clerk’s office. These cats told us they will take our petitions, store them in a vault and have chosen not to begin the verification process, due to the 11th Circuit decision to “pause” the injunction.
- This is the same tactic employed by the Jim Crow era RICO networks to repress the Black vote across the South.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
- @KeishaBottoms why are there Black people who are unsheltered sleeping in tent cities in “wakanda”, especially since we built this country for free...#AyeKeisha #mythoftheblackmecca
- Replying to @MaryhooksThe city attorney…is a member of Ebenezer, is submitting the authority of the city over to a conservative State all to pacify the interest of KKKemp, Korportations, and Kops…Dr King is rolling over in his grave.
- A Blessing (which is what you call a group of 2 or more unicorns)
- @andreforatlanta is doing an event for Black men’s lives tomorrow while Deacon #JohnnyHollman’s family has been demanding the video of his execution by police be released, while he silence the same Black men’s voices by playing games with the CopCity referendum.
- Replying to @MikeK_LA and @atlanta_pressstudies have shown that more training doesn’t decrease excessive force, police misconduct or violence. The APD officer who killed Rayshard Brooks had 2000+ hrs of training w/de-escalation. Atl has some of the most trained officers in the country
- Replying to @coopcs and @CityofAtlantaThey could also be sent home to sleep in their own beds. The commitment to close the jail is part of a larger commitment to transform the way we address harm, stop criminalizing folks who need care, not cages, and to interrupt generations of profit driven racist policing.
- We don’t just organize bc of Black Death, we organize because we have chosen Black Life! Police murders bring people to the streets but it’s the love, organization, desire + the possibility for a taste of freedom that we make an enthusiastic commitment to face death, if necessary
- @KeishaBottoms will you commit to #DefundThePolice and #DefendBlackLives? Will you invest those resources into the communities that have been ravaged by weak reforms, covid, and generations of racial terror? #ayekeisha #mythoftheblackmecca @AJustGeorgia
