We @ JUSTGeorgia again extend love & active solidarity to justice-seeking ppl of MSP. We hope that the family & friends of George Floyd find some comfort in the end of this traumatic trial & we remain committed to dismantling the systems that permit this brand of State violence.

Atlanta committed in 2018 to shut down the Atlanta City Detention Center. But today, in 2021, the jail is still open. We’re calling on @KeishaBottoms & @atlcouncil to #CloseTheJail NOW, replace it with a Center for Wellness & Equity, & build no new beds. https://t.co/Pb5NiHDJxi

No telling how long we are going to have to wait for the footage that will confirm what we all know to be true... #thetraumacontinues https://t.co/z4d0JTisbw

@DarshunKendrick Rep. Kendrick, it IS a full repeal. I don’t know why you’re confusing people unnecessarily. Several legal advocacy organizations agree with @southerncenter, @AJustGeorgia and @Georgia_NAACP. After so many hearings and discussions, why are we still even talking about this?

[Southern Center for Human Rights @southerncenter]

ACTION ALERT! This bill, up for a vote by the full House TODAY, protects police budgets at the expense of public safety. Call or email your state representatives and demand they VOTE NO ON HB286! Contact info and sample script on our blog: https://t.co/oa0HhmY5Qe

UPDATE: The @GASenateDems didn’t sponsor this legislation. The sponsors, however, are all Senate Democrats. #GaPol

[James “Major” Woodall, Sr. @iMajorWish]

Enraged that @GASenateDems would sponsor SB10. Supporting pre-trial civil asset forfeiture AND fines no less than $2,500. Read the bill: https://t.co/eDpxvBAqGt

This is a step back - not a step forward. #GaPol

@shedefendsit Thank you! (and... yup , sure will! 🤷🏽‍♀️) I love and respect you so much, Tiff! 😘

[Marissa McCall Dodson @mmdodson]

@shedefendsit @CombaheeFree @nseufot Y’all are giving me life today... please don’t stop 😂😂😂

[Marissa McCall Dodson @mmdodson]

@shedefendsit @nseufot I’m so happy to have you wonderful inspirations in my life! Hopefully state lawmakers respond to the demands being made by communities across Georgia during this session. Btw, I’m wearing flats too...😉

Georgia Senate runoffs: Democrat Raphael Warnock projected to win first of the two Senate runoff elections, according to AP, NBC and ABC https://t.co/NseK9Dh4N6

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

In 2017, Georgia’s next U.S. Senator @ossoff confronted a dark chapter in our nation’s story by standing for office. Now Jon Ossoff will stand for all of Georgia in the fight for healthcare, jobs + justice. And our nation will be all the better for having him. Congratulations!

[Marissa McCall Dodson @mmdodson]

@shedefendsit Awww! Thanks for being such an incredible and supportive person. I love you dearly and you killed it in the morning session 😊

@FeliciaAMoore You say the crime spike is due in part to COVID. Community has been working to address Atlantans’ pandemic needs through work like @Mama_Fund. We would love a conversation about needs that police & warehousing people cannot address. https://t.co/1Ir1dQ93jo

GEORGIA: The January 5 runoff elections for control of the U.S. Senate are fast approaching. Make your voice heard by requesting your ballot now at https://t.co/xCyh7BhY3o #LetsGetItDoneAgain #gapol

[Tiff Roberts @shedefendsit]

We are asking @FeliciaAMoore @WestmorelandATL @Andre4Atlanta @AmirForATL @JenniferIde1 @joycesheperd & other Councilmembers to NOT hold a vote on a bail reform rollback bill 1 day before a historic Election Day. Your constituents are busy working for democracy. #PumpTheBrakesATL

[Marissa McCall Dodson @mmdodson]

@GregBrownJr3 @atlpoliceradio @atlcouncil No, you’re missing the point. There is no evidence that more punitive responses will make your neighborhoods quieter by deterring people from committing crime. Know the history. More punishment doesn’t equal safer communities. Period

[Marissa McCall Dodson @mmdodson]

Why is Buckhead pressuring @ATLcouncil to roll back bail reform and put more people in jail during a pandemic? What privilege to see car events as the crisis. Now is the time for creative solutions, not more criminal penalties. Do better!#HandsOffBailReform #PumpTheBrakesATL

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

BOTH ARE TRUE:

It's annoying to be kept up at night by modified mufflers! Reckless, fast driving on public streets is dangerous!

Caging these people and impounding their cars WILL NOT WORK and will create so much additional harm! There are other ways to address problems!
