Emergency responders are now reporting there is a large protest forming on the south end of the prison being disruptive to first responders. Law enforcement are responding to the protest.
STILLWATER PRISON: Multiple agencies are responding to what is being reported as a "prison takeover." Washington County dispatchers report getting a call from prison staff requesting additional police, fire, and EMS to assist prison staff on site with the situation.
The repression of bail funds will have consequences far beyond the city of Atlanta. We stand in solidarity with them, and against cop city & its world!
Starting Monday 3/20 there will be a weekly reading group for the purpose of developing a deeper understanding of the strategic foundations of the movement to Defend the Atlanta Forest.
It will take place 7pm at 2500 University Ave W (Studio F5) in Saint Paul. Links below ↓

"Uprisings live on in our gestures, in our friendships, in our hearts. Much of the ferocity may have faded, and the weight of the present may hang heavy on our shoulders, but we have been been irreversibly transformed by the experiences of potential of those days in May."
The city plans to attack the Quarry encampment on Weds Dec 28th. Show up to defend your neighbors! Dress warm, dress in black. Bring friends and make a plan.
The Quarry - 1520 New Brighton Blvd, MPLS (across from orange store) - 6am
