Atlanta Police Foundation’s “At Promise Center” Set On Fire
“The “At Promise Center” is a “youth center” funded by the Atlanta Police Foundation. According to a report in corporate media, a window of the building was smashed, and the side of the building was set on fire. The following is a communiqué, submitted anonymously by email:
On the morning of the 27th we set fire to the Atlanta Police Foundation’s Westside “At Promise Center”.
This was the day before the two year anniversary of the burning of the third precinct in Minneapolis.
Fuck The Police.”

Attack on Bank of America in Minneapolis In Solidarity With Arrested Forest Defenders
We smashed up the windows of the Bank of America on Hennepin Ave in MPLS, and painted the front to read “DEFUND COP CITY.”
Our attack was in solidarity with those arrested in the recent raid on the forest, and we pray for the safe return of our comrades and a continuation of the fight for life against cop city and hollywood dystopia. Bank of America will need to end their sponsorship of the Atlanta Police Foundation or they will continue to be under threat from our friends across the so-called united states.
a toast to the nights we gave ’em hell.
FUCK COP CITY
FUCK HOLLYWOOD DYSTOPIA
FREE THE FOREST DEFENDERS
TRUST GOD, FUCK 12

Construction Vehicles Vandalized In Lane County in Solidarity With The Forest Defenders In Atlanta
Over the past month or so many construction vehicles(lost count) in so called Lane County had their windows smashed in. Many more will be smashed in the future. These actions are being done in solidarity with forest defenders in so called Atlanta GA. Not only must Cop City be stopped but all construction everywhere. Construction projects anywhere are a threat to living things everywhere. We will not stop until there are no more windows to smash or excavators to operate. Defend The Forest!

A Home Associated With Dodd Drilling LLC vandalized
EARLY MONDAY MORNING A HOME ASSOCIATED WITH DODD DRILLING, LLC WAS PAINTED WITH SLOGANS INCLUDING “DODD DRILLING STAY OUT”, “STOP COP CITY”, AND “DROP APD” TO THE DODD DRILLING JERK: LAST MONDAY, A BULLDOZER WITH YOUR LOGO FORCED ITS WAY INTO WEELAUNEE FOREST AND LEFT A 100-FT TRAIL OF DESTRUCTION IN ITS WAKE. FOREST DEFENDERS RESPONDED QUICKLY WITH ROCKS AND RAGE, BUT SOME DAMAGE WAS ALREADY DONE. DESPITE HAVING NO PERMIT, YOU ALLOWED ATLANTA POLICE TO USE YOUR EQUIPMENT TO INTIMIDATE AND INJURE THE FOREST AND ITS RESIDENTS. TODAY, YOU KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO HAVE YOUR SPACE INVADED. YOU CAME TO OUR HOME SO WE CAME TO YOURS. ALL FORESTS ARE CONNECTED–YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY IS NOT AS PRIVATE AS YOU MAY THINK. WE DEMAND YOU STAY OUT OF WEELAUNEE FOREST AND STOP WORKING WITH ATLANTA POLICE AND COP CITY CONTRACTORS. TO ALL OTHERS WHO WOULD SUPPORT COP CITY: IT MIGHT HAVE MORE COSTS THAN YOU ANTICIPATE, FINANCIAL AND OTHERWISE. MANY CREATURES CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THIS FOREST AND ARE PREPARED TO DEFEND IT. ANY PARTNER OF THE APD OR CONTRACTOR FOR COP CITY IS OUR ENEMY AND POTENTIAL TARGET. TO OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES: THE PRINCIPAL ADDRESS OF DODD DRILLING, LLC IS A SUBURBAN HOME IN A CUL DE SAC LOCATED AT 64 TIMBER WALK DAWSONVILLE, GA 30534. THE BACKYARD INCLUDES A LOVELY FOREST WHICH IS EASY TO VISIT. THE WEELAUNEE FOREST IS NOT DYING; IT IS BEING KILLED AND THOSE WHO ARE KILLING IT HAVE NAMES AND ADDRESSES.

ATLAS office windows smashed, vandalism in Albany NY
On the evening of may 10th I smashed 7 windows at the office building where the northeast offices of ATLAS are located in Albany, NY. I also tagged “ATLAS – STOP DESTROYING THE ATLANTA FOREST.” Destroying hundreds of acres of forest during the 6th greatest mass extinction of species to build a police training facility following one of the largest anti-police uprisings in decades is fucking disgusting. With this vandalism I urge ATLAS to do the right thing and drop any contracts with Brasfield and Gorrie and the Cop City project.

With Love From Minneapolis
Employees arriving to work this morning at the Fridley office of Atlas Technical Consultants found a mess. Every window of the building had been smashed out, buckets of paint had been thrown inside the office, and the front was redecorated to read “FUCK COP CITY, DEFEND THE ATL FOREST.”
This attack was carried out in response to a call for a May 1st day of action, put out by our friends in Atlanta. Atlas Technical Consultants is the owner of Long Engineering, who are active participants in the ill-fated attempt at the destruction of the Atlanta forest.
Brasfield & Gorrie, as well as their subcontractors, should take note that there will be consequences for encroachment on the forest in the service of cop city and Hollywood dystopia. Atlas should realize that this endeavor *will not* be worth the trouble.
To our friends in Atlanta, we’re inspired by your bravery and resourcefulness. We want you to know whatever you’re with, Minneapolis is with it. You’re showing the world what a decentralized composition of struggle can accomplish, and developing the force required to confront cop city and whatever is next. Atlanta will remain a forest.
With love,
Murderapolis

Trees Spiked by Intrenchment Creek
Innumerable trees within a 300 yard radius were spiked to prevent clear-cutting in the South Atlanta Forest on Muscogee lands on April 1st.
The forest and other wild spaces are the origin stories for all life on Earth. Whether it be logging and construction for a police training facility, new subdivisions, or yet another unneeded bank or coffee shop, we oppose it’s existence and choose life over destruction.
“Reclaim skills, master them through practice, and share their power. Reach out to people who have capabilities you want everyone to have… Prepare for the new normal. Learn to [forage], to code, to heal: increase your collective strength.” -Inhabit, INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTONOMY, pg.38

Banks Attacked in Solidarity with Atlanta Forest Defenders
This month we sabotaged card slots of Wells Fargo and Bank Of America in Center City, Philadelphia. This attack was done in solidarity and complicity with those disrupting the construction of a police training grounds in Atlanta. Cops in Atlanta want to cut down a forest to build a mock city to practice squashing uprisings. In response, individuals are occupying, protesting, and sabotaging. People have started staying in the forest and fucking with the construction. The Atlanta Police Foundation is being funded by Wells Fargo and Bank Of America. We are excited to hear about construction workers being chased out and construction vehicles being messed up.
As proponents of self-directed revolt we decided to target the banks contributing to building the cop city. We hope that by communicating our action others feel encouraged or inspired to attack and disrupt the social order in their own context. While it would be preferable if the police project in Atlanta collapsed, for us destruction is an end in itself. We take pleasure in disrupting capital.
Our sabotage involved collecting plastic cards, which we cut into thirds. The purpose of this was to prevent the cards from easily being removed. Before going out we wiped down the pieces with gloves on and dressed anonymously. We inserted the pieces into atm and door card readers after putting a strip of super glue onto them. One benefit of this action is that it fucks up the machine without making a lot of noise or seeming out of place. We feel this is relevant to point out because the cop city is an example of the police preparing for mass unrest and we feel it is strategic to be able to act discreetly in light of increasing policing and surveillance.

Our enemies will not rest
To Reeves Young:
You will have noticed by now that several of your machines have ceased to function, their arteries corroded from within. Last week, we sabotaged six Earth-raping machines——including two large excavators and a bulldozer——at a Reeves Young construction site in Flowery Branch, Georgia. So long as you continue to contract with the Atlanta Police Foundation for the destruction of the South Atlanta Forest, and the construction of a Cop City in its place, know that your equipment is not safe. Your offices are not safe. Your homes are not safe.
Unless your company chooses to pull out of the APF’s Cop City project of its own volition, we will undermine your profits so severely that you’ll have no choice but to drop the contract. A recent article in the AJC estimated that forest defenders already “have done hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage to utility equipment.” Our conservative estimate places you now hundreds of thousands deeper in the red. Though we fight in defense of the forest, against Cop City, our struggle is not contained there. Wherever you are, we will find you. All fields are battlefields. All machines are targets.
To our friends:
Solidarity means attack. If you hate the cops and love the forest; if you feel as we do that they have already taken too much from us——venture into the night and fight back. Sabotage and vandalize. Don’t get caught. By bleach, sand or fire, you can destroy the Earth destroyers. (Read Chapter 5 of “Ecodefense: A Field Guide to Monkeywrenching” for details——practice good security if searching online.) We will not sit idly by as they desolate one of our last wild spaces, all to sharpen their tools of mass domestication. The logic of death ends with us. We choose life.
We do not need more training centers for the police to practice killing us. We do not need more Amazon warehouses for two-hour delivery of fleshlights and Quest bars. What we need is what we already have, what Reeves Young aims to ruin: spaces free from Empire; soil, roots and water, mutually healing; trees bending in the wind; a friend’s eyes shining in the light of the fire.
We will not rest, so neither will our enemies. In solidarity with all those locked in cages; in solidarity with all those combating Russian and Amerikkkan imperialism——let us strike without fear at everything which confines and assails us. May the flame that burns inside us burn everything around us.
With burning heart,

Defend the Barricades; Calling Feral Anarchists to Atlanta Forest!
“No Forest? No Peace! Truck the Police!”, reads a banner hanging from a skypod attached to an overturned truck blocking the ONLY Bridge crossing the little creek between the police construction staging ground and the main part of the forest which they intend to destroy. This is a CALL-TO-ACTION for eco-warriors worldwide to come help defend the forest from any further police intrusion and destruction! The kkkops would train here to militarize against those resisting all systems of oppression; in the name of abolition we must take action!
We need ingenious comrades to help person and support the skypod (the “Truck Stop”), as well as help maintain the TEN existing barricades around the Camp Deadnettle areas (& forge new ones!)
Deadnettle is a virulent plant that grows in disturbed soil, in this it is akin to our rag-tag crew of rowdy comrades who gather in places of disruption to stand against the machines.
This is OUR forest and will NEVER become the mock kkkop training city they intend it to be!
We have over 500 acres to defend between fighting off the police and staving off Hollywood from clear-cutting the forest for their bullshit movies.
If you come to make a stand against the long arm of the law, know that autonomous action is encouraged!
Go feral! Build pirate ships! Dance with us! Don’t bring your hierarchical shit here. Leave your clocks.
Bring your art and your fury! Let’s supplant the slimy fingers of the police and oppressive systems they make possible.
The main gate police and earth destroying machinery use to enter the forest has been barricaded shut– help us keep it that way!
If you are interested in throwing down and joining our funky feral brigade, hit us up on the riseup at:
See you in the Forest!
With Love and Rage,

CONCERNING THE DESTRUCTION OF LONG ENGINEERING VEHICLES, ATLANTA GEORGIA:
On Mar. 1st, 2022, FIVE large Long Engineering trucks used to do
survey work to help delineate destruction in the South Atlanta Forest
were destroyed in solidarity with eco-defenders currently protecting the
forest from being clear-cut to build cop city and more Hollywood
infrastructure for Black Hall Studios.
There will be NO peace for any subcontractors involved with the
planning or destruction of the south Atlanta Forest until ALL contracts
with the Atlanta Police Foundation & Black Hall Studios have been
withdrawn, & the Forest is safe from any and ALL destruction. We do NOT
differentiate “pre-construction ” & “construction “…
It is EASY to approach vehicles and machinery sitting like ducks in
subcontractor parking lots and simply pour gallons of bleach into their
gas tanks and render any and all of their equipment used to subjugate
the land completely dead and inoperable!
This is a CALL-TO-ACTION for more eco-warriors to replicate these
actions in the name of Defending the Forest and ALL creatures wild and
Free!
Save the South Atlanta Forest! Destroy all of the machines! Tear up
all of the roads! There is no “perfect moment” to act on the horizon,
the time is ripe!
Fuck your ego and use the cover of darkness to go out and get shit
done, for we need more faceless saboteurs to help bankrupt all of these
companies from being able to function.
It only costs $1.00 for a gallon of bleach and it costs them
$50,000.00 (or more!) Per vehicle…
DEFEND THE FOREST! FIGHT THE COPS! OUR WOODS NOT HOLLYWOODS!

COMMUNIQUE: Reeves Young Machinery Attacked
Today a bulldozer and three employees (One being Alan WIlliams, the project manager with the APF) attempted to destroy the forest.
A group gathered to stop the destruction under the call of “Not One Blade Of Grass!”.
The group approached the construction workers and some led them outside of the forest while the machinery was attacked leaving broken windows and mangled machinery entrails.
The group escaped with zero arrests.

Home of Dean Reeves visited
In late December we decided to pay a visit to district one to the home of Dean and Patty Reeves. Dean Reeves is the Chairman of Reeves Young construction company, a company contracted to destroy part of the South Atlanta forest to build Cop City. Their home at 4682 Blackwater Way in Suwanee, GA is part of a purportedly high security gated community but it turns out it’s quite easy to get in with just a little bit of ingenuity 😉 We left them a small message in the trees behind their home to encourage them to do the right thing. We hope this action gives them but a minuscule does of what the creatures in the South Atlanta forest they want to bulldoze might feel: unsafe in the place they call home. Feels bad don’t it…
