Hey @atlcouncil where is the public engagement??? The entire purpose of tabling the vote, according to Archibong, was to gather public input. Have you done it? No!!!!

"The west coast is on fire. The east coast is flooding. Heat indexes are becoming inhospitable. Nature ever more precarious.
We’ve been through more than the weight of these words could convey: And they want to build a cop city?" https://t.co/UtH1sRBrPG
We took over for a bit to give Micah a break. First stream is now ending due to hitting the streaming time limit. Second will resume shortly. Totals as of the end of the stream are as follows:
pro cop city: 87
against cop city: 216
ratio: 2.48 to 1
total calls so far: 320
Official documents show no community members were included in advisory council which recommended plans for $90 million police training facility.
Members include COO Jon Keen & APF CEO Dave Wilkinson.
This is in violation of KLB's administrative order.

On this Labor Day, working class Atlantans from south Atlanta, DeKalb County, Buckhead, and everywhere in between are fighting to stop a massive corrupt land deal between the city and Atlanta Police Foundation.
Join in. Call today from 4 til 7 p.m. at 404-330-6001 ✨
- the Atlanta Police Foundation and Atlanta housing combined own 98 acres of land already, so why do they need the prison farm for their facility? @mainlinezine@darcatl
It is indeed mind blowing. But if you live, love and organize here: not surprising. Tune in tomorrow to your city council and take note of who votes for #CopCity revealing who NEEDS TO GO IN NOVEMBER.
Atlanta,
Today is the day to call Atlanta City Council's public comment line to tell them to #STOPCOPCITY!
Call 404-330-6001 from 4-7pm!
Remind them that you are a concerned voter who is against handing over 381 acres for $10/yr to APD & APF!
From @WomenOnTheRise1
“YOUR VOICE IS NEEDED TODAY!
The Public Safety and Finance Committees of City Council approved the lease of the Public Safety Training Center. We do not agree with this!!
Atlanta City Council must be held accountable to everyday working class people…
Tomorrow (Tues 9/7) the full city council will vote on 21-O-0367 ordinance for the cop city ground lease. As of right now it looks to be fairly early on in their meeting coming after communications. Agenda here: https://t.co/8D9pht0tPk #StopCopCity
hey! good morning! have you called city council about their plan to raze a forest in order to build an incredibly costly playground for police officers? the same Atlanta officers who killed two people in 48 hours last week?
Finally, we’ve reached over 1,000 signatures on the petition to
StopCopCity! Sign and share now before we send it along tonight!
