TODAY June 20th, we need you to speak [2 min. time limit] out at the Stone Mountain City Hall at 6 pm. The Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) will be there in an attempt to bully the City Council into allowing them to fly Confederate flags in the city cemetery.
SATURDAY: protest against the Sons of Confederate Veterans' racist rally at Stone Mountain!
Local activists & community groups are organizing several events in opposition to the SCV rally.
Georgia SCV's spokesman is a racist leader & its rally attracts other white supremacists.
Good riddance: The "Lion of the Confederacy" has now been removed from Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta.
It seems to have been removed last week, soon after the City Council announcement.
Repeated re-decoration of the monument helped make this small victory possible.
UPDATE: Unstable militia leader Chris Hill of the III% Security Force has popped into the Telegram channel for the 8/29 anti-mask/anti-vax rally & shared his plans for the day.
III%SF will gather at the GA Capitol starting 11:30AM, then convoy to the main rally @ Piedmont Park.
On 8/29, anti-vaxxers & anti-maskers will rally at Piedmont Park in Atlanta. Far-Right militias are expected to attend.
The rally is organized & promoted on the "Worldwide Georgia" Telegram channel. Say hello to channel owner "Hayloft44": Joshua Isaac Caleb Weintraub of Rome GA.
“What we have here is a city dedicated to protecting the police while pushing out poor, working-class residents — particularly Black, poor, working-class residents — under the guise it’s helping to protect people.” #StopCopCity

Good article by @jason_a_w (with quotes from @AdamHDomby & I) about the sore losers club that is the Sons of Confederate Veterans. The SCV lost in the Charlottesville city council, at the Virginia General Assembly, and the Virginia state supreme court.

This is Scout Schultz, the intersex & nonbinary president of the campus Pride Alliance, who was shot and killed by Georgia Tech Police in 2017.
Schultz's killer, Tyler Beck, was not even kicked off the force.
Fuck you very much, @GeorgiaTech.
Hey everybody. Could y’all give us a follow and a retweet to get to 1,000 followers?
We are organizing for homes, healthcare, water, and political power in the city of Atlanta. We will need all of your support.
Community is everything. Liberation is possible. We got us.
It's great to see the Charlottsville monuments down! What an amazing day.
Read about Zyahna Bryant! She was 15 years old when she decided to take on Charlottesville and their monuments. Today would not have happened without her.
