"Stop Cop City / RIP Tort! Defend ATL Forest"
Mural in Athens, Georgia in memory of Manuel Teran aka Tortuguita, a 26-year-old Atlanta Forest defender who was shot and killed by cops on 18 January, 2023.
The Atlanta city council is clearing the forest to build a massive police training facility dubbed "Cop City".
On January 18th, people across the US are holding events to honor Tortuguita on "Day of the Forest Defender."
Check out our roundup of events here:
Anarchists redecorated a Bank of America & a Chase Private Client (which caters to the rich) this week in Brooklyn in solidarity with movements to #FreePalestine & #StopCopCity. They also chained the doors, stuffed locks with putty, & glued card readers.
They posted a communique online which read:
“The message is clear: No business as usual until Palestine is free and Cop City construction is dismantled.
[…]
The physical structures of capital are vulnerable and we urge you to take action where you are at.”
