Atlanta Organizing

Building power. Black, PoC, queer-affirming, working class power. From Atlanta to Palestine. Ran by Asia.

[Atlanta Organizing @ATLOrganizing]

Why would corporations support anti CRT laws loudly when they’ve all created sham Diversity and inclusion departments in the wake of BLM?

[Atlanta Organizing @ATLOrganizing]

Corporations “supported” BLM with corny catch phrases and donations for a year there is no reason to compare the “support” of the DSG bill by Disney when we know Disney financially supports the writers of the bill. Also, attention coming from Disney is coming from the workers

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

The fact is, Disney said nothing about the anti-CRT law or the Stop Woke Act, but has spoken out against the Don't Say Gay and I am interested in why, and I think the exploration of the why is a worthy inquiry that has nothing to do with my pitting groups against each other.

If you have time, call and tell @CityofAtlanta that they should be thanking anti-racist protesters, not arresting legal observers. This has persisted far too long.

[Tiff Roberts @shedefendsit]

Raising this. An Atlanta lawyer was arrested while doing legal observation with a white colleague. @CityofAtlanta is proceeding with her prosecution for a curfew violation. She says her white colleague’s case was dismissed weeks ago.

[Tiff Roberts @shedefendsit]

It’s very concerning that as COVID cases rise, @CityofAtlanta continues to move forward full steam ahead with curfew cases in municipal court. Mayor @KeishaBottoms & the city solicitor have ignored all correspondence from orgs and attorneys to #dropthechargesATL.

[Southern Center for Human Rights @southerncenter]

ATL City Council wants to roll back bail reform and put more people in jail, without considering any other solution. This is ineffective and harmful. Please take 2 mins of your extra hour this Sunday to leave a comment, + 2 more to call 2 friends to do the same! #pumpthebrakesATL

[Atlanta Organizing @ATLOrganizing]

As people celebrate the election, People in atlanta are facing raids and curfew charges because unlike other cities @KeishaBottoms has not called for the dropping of unconstitutional charges.

[da’shaun | they/them @DaShaunLH]

i would much rather ATL be known for “lemon pepper wings and great strip clubs” than for it to maintain its current legacy, which is: for over 50 years we’ve had Black mayor after Black mayor & yet the city is becoming whiter & the homeless population is growing, @KeishaBottoms

[da’shaun | they/them @DaShaunLH]

.@KeishaBottoms, you are so sick and twisted. been going on this fuck ass celebrity tour campaigning for a position you’ll never get while ignoring the needs and requests of the people in your city. you truly are @KasimReed’s successor in every way.

[tea: armchair era @colonizedlocal]

ssksmaakskskaaksksk i— like it’s wild.... the city be funding + celebrating the stadiums and movie studios and adaptive reuse mall/food court concepts among other bullshit......

..... yet runs outta money for the fucking transit system.......

[tea: armchair era @colonizedlocal]

how many billionaires live in Atlanta again??????

[tea: armchair era @colonizedlocal]

This is why Atlanta has been on fire for months... this is the type of violence that ignites riots...

This ain’t about policy fixes and planning best practices

It’s about literally eating the rich
Let the heads roll and provide for the people

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

Mayor Bottoms, you invoked Audre Lorde’s words in your DNC speech: “Your silence will not protect you.” Your police silence the cries of protesters, chilling and criminalizing free speech. Who are they protecting? #DropTheChargesATL

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

The city “too busy to hate” isn’t too busy to arrest its citizens for exercising their First Amendment rights. Take action here - by emailing the mayor, the city council pres., and the city solicitor, and PLEASE share: https://t.co/6dRt9E58bp

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

Since the uprisings against police violence began, Atlanta police have arrested over 600 protesters. Today, we are calling upon @keishabottoms, @FeliciaAMoore & Solicitor Raines Carter to follow the lead of other cities and dismiss the charges. #DropTheChargesATL

[Southern Center for Human Rights @southerncenter]

This pattern of arresting protesters flies in the face of the First Amendment. These arrests also further clog an already overburdened court system and jeopardize the health of citizens and court staff. #DropTheChargesATL
