Solidarity With Struggle In Atlanta And Comrades Denied Bail For Their Nonviolent Direct Action Of Tree Sitting
If The State Responds To Nonviolent Protest With Violence, What Motivation Do We Have To Remain Peaceful? Over The Past Ten Years And Especially Since The Uprising In Summer ‘20 Protestors Have Been Met With Increasingly Militarized Police Repression. The Explicit Purpose Of Cop City Includes Training For Suppression Of Mass Protests By Physical Violence And Chemical Warfare. Instead Of Funding A Live-Able Social Safety Net, Atlanta Politicians Voted Against Public Interest To Create A Cop Playground. Atlas Technical Consultants Is One Of The Private Companies Propped Up By This Corrupt Scheme.
Last Night We Visited An Atlas Office In Novi Michigan. We Smashed Their Front Windows And Poured Paint At Their Doorstep. Unfortunately The Double Reinforced Panes Were Chalenging To Get Through—We Heard Someone Else Successfully Shattered Them Some Months Ago—But Damage Was Done Despite This.
No Cop City In Atlanta, No Cop Cities Anywhere! Violent Dranged Bastards From All Over The Country Would Travel To Atlanta For Training So We Must Travel To Defend Against Their Active Threats. This Fight Affects All Of Us, Coast To Coast And Around The World. From Grayling To Atlanta, Love And Rage.
