[Olympia Stand ✊ @Olystand]

Still burning in our hearts

[Olympia Jail Support @olyjailsupport]

A person was arrested at their home in Olympia this evening and taken to the Thurston County Jail where they were questioned about a demonstration that occurred last night. They were quickly released after invoking their right to remain silent. (1/4)

Moments before Atlanta City Council voted to fund Cop City, they brought these guys into the chambers. Because their rule comes from their strength and not their legitimacy. We have plenty of legitimacy where they do not. Now it is time for us to be strong.

[Talia Jane @taliaotg]

More than 350 people spoke against Cop City through the night, and only 4 spoke in favor of it.

[Maximillian Alvarez @maximillian_alv]

"Peace, nonviolence, & restraint" is the standard regular people are held to while the cops riot, murder a forest defender & lie about it, target peaceful activists in the city for arrest, slap them w/ bogus "terrorism" charges, & get caught on a police scanner bragging about it

[nolan @RevSouthNolan]

After listening to over 12 hours of public comment against Cop City, City Council voted to fund Cop City by a vote of 11-4.

After community members left city hall, Councilman Matt Westmoreland made a point to stay and shake hands with Atlanta Police Officers.

[Steven Donziger @SDonziger]

BREAKING: In the dead of night, Atlanta's City Council voted 11-4 to approve $67 million for a police training center that will be an incubator for the criminalization of protest and attacks on low-income communities.

Pure cowardice.

The movement to stop Cop City and defend Atlanta's forests has always set its own pace, marched to its own rhythms.

The sixth week of action is June 24 - July 1, ATL 🌲🌳 #StopCopCity #SOSAtlanta 🚨

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

A Department of Homeland Security agency’s intelligence report about the Atlanta protest movement “Stop Cop City” lifted a sentence nearly verbatim from an article published by Andy Ngo a day earlier.

City off’ls say Atlanta City Hall has “reached capacity” as 615 members of pub. have come to oppose “Cop City,” a police/ fire training ctr. More wait in street outside. Shouts: “viva Tortuguita,” the activist killed Jan. 18

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

To the Chief of Police, head of City Hall security, chairman of City Council, and so-called Mayor of Atlanta, ahead of tomorrows events:

HANDS OFF
STAND DOWN

The community is mobilizing en masse to voice their opposition to Cop City.

Do not attack peaceful protesters.

[Atlanta Community Press Collective @atlanta_press]

Calls have gone out to supporters across the country to order pizza to Atlanta City Hall to keep #StopCopCity protestors fed.

More than 20 pizzas have arrived since the calls went out.

[Timothy Pratt @TimothyJPratt]

In Atlanta city council chambers as 100’s spk agt “Cop City,” setting a new record for civic participation— and more arent being let in

[da’shaun | they/them @DaShaunLH]

there is a firefighter here giving comment at City Hall AGAINST cop city. “First responders who are not police stand to gain absolutely nothing from Cop City! There should be consequences…”

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

"This project is being done against the will of the people of Atlanta." & directed at APF pres. Shipman, "Is the APF a nonprofit entity? Or are they a for profit real estate company purchasing homes on the west side perpetuating gentrification and displacing black residents?”

[Atlanta Community Press Collective @atlanta_press]

EMT speaking now:

“Those of us who are not police stand to gain absolutely nothing [from Cop City].”

[Steven Donziger @SDonziger]

BREAKING: Georgia's top newspaper just posted a stunning expose of the many official lies about the burgeoning cost of the "Cop City" police center. The official narrative is officially collapsing.

Time to pull the plug.

Protestors outside Atlanta City Hall are chanting “If you build it, we will burn it.”

#StopCopCity

[Atlanta Community Press Collective @atlanta_press]

Police are beginning to mobilize barricades.

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

Only ~50 of the 357 people signed up for public comment have spoken so far w/ the promise that more can sign up at the end of that 357.

We are prepared to stay all night & be here tomorrow.
