BEAVERS GNAW DOWN 40 FT WOODEN SURVEILLANCE POLE IN WELAUNEE FOREST installed by APD & City of ATL:
…We noticed that police escorted a white work truck with boom lift affiliated with The City of Atlanta to install a very large & approximate 40 foot wooden pole on Key Road near the prison ruins in south Atlanta yesterday, for what appeared to be a high altitude surveillance tower…
Us beavers just so happen to LOVE a good hardwood pole, & will surely gnaw down more if you bring them!
Thanks for the snack APD!
We saved some leftovers for you on the side of the road in what also appears to be a mounting pile of broken surveillance cameras…
In Solidarity with Forest defenders holding it down in the South Atlanta Forest,
The Beaver Gang

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.”

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.

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,

Defending The Atlanta Forest – Background and Reportback
SOME HISTORIC BACKGROUND
FOREST OCCUPATION AND DEFENSE
THIS PAST WEEK OF ACTION
FUCK COPS//JOIN US IN THE FOREST
The time is now! This is a call from some of us living in the Atlanta Forest; We invite you to join us in its defense. The forest, which is stolen Muscogee land, is slated to become a mock-city for police training. We have no intention of allowing this, nor of limiting our efforts to tree sits and lockdowns (already there have been 2 arson attacks, damaged machinery, home and office visits, barricades, etc.). The more people there are staying in the forest, the more options are open to us. Living in the forest gives us ability to immediately respond to any threat the forest faces. We must not allow them an inch without meeting opposition. Not one blade of grass. As it stands, the forest feels autonomous and the police are reluctant to go deep within it. Help us keep it that way. Come now to defend the forest, in struggle against the police and the civilization that needs them. Check out https://scenes.noblogs.org/ for more info/past communiques and email atldtf@riseup.net to get in touch if you’re interested in coming.

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.
