The AJC, backed by police & monied interests, is trying to erase the voices of the neighbors, educators, students, and activists who want to #StopCopCity. See what the people of ATL have to say in today's op-ed, published by @atlanta_press https://t.co/CeO9nuYQfu

it's very hot. did you know the cooling impact of just one healthy tree (from both evaporation and absorbing sunlight) is "equivalent to 10 room-size air conditioners operating 24 hours a day," per the USDA? razing a forest to build cop city would make ATL so much more vulnerable

[Defend the Atlanta Forest/Stop Cop City @defendATLforest]

Report: About 50 police on foot on Key Road in the perimeter of ATL forest #StopCopCity protest site, staging and unaccompanied by machinery.

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

Attorneys: Margarita was sentenced to LWOP in her child's death, though she did not understand a word at trial. She is representing herself at a Habeas hearing next week, despite having no access to Spanish materials in the law library. Can you help us get her a continuance?

Mail day! If you live in Georgia, sign up to write to an incarcerated person in our state! We have a big backlog of pen pal requests and always need more folks to write and build solidarity with our people inside! https://t.co/rAYW8qtuq7

PS - I am trying to do more than share outrage on Twitter these days. So, if you are reading this and it makes you mad… know that we have the power to do something elected officials won’t. Sign up to build solidarity with a penpal who is currently incarcerated at @GAfreedomltrs

Happy Holidays to everyone except the folks at Emmanuel Women’s Facility who decided, all of a sudden, that “cards not allowed.” Perfect timing during the holidays.

[Georgia Freedom Letters @GAfreedomltrs]
