#StopCopCity #DefendTheAtlantaForest March 5th Action Report https://scenes.noblogs.org/post/2023/03/07/the-forest-fights-back-march-5th-action-report/ reports that they did actually use Molotov cocktails and fireworks and explains their innovative cocktails. #directAction

Wow, I guess this answers my question about which journalist(s) was the forest defender upset. ("A Few More Words Against Rats" https://scenes.noblogs.org/post/2023/03/07/a-few-more-words-against-rats/) They specifically call out subMedia and Unicorn Riot. Too bad they didn't know better. "Whoa, dope video, dude!" #StopCopCity #DefendTheAtlantaForest #directAction #protest

On the 4th of March, as part of the first day of the week of action to defend Weelaunee Forest in Atlanta, hundreds of people have reoccupied the forest.

For background on the movement, you could start with these articles:

The fight to defend the Weelaunee Forest in Atlanta has become one of the most vibrant movements of the post-Trump era, interweaving environmentalism, abolitionism, and the struggle against gentrification. Yet as police begin employing lethal violence and indiscriminate terrorism charges, it has reached a critical juncture.

"nine of the forest defenders facing domestic terrorism charges are accused simply of trespassing in the woods by camping and living in a tree house." #DefendTheAtlantaForest

From a local activist group today, veted by several people.

Unfortunately they didn't provide a way to communicate when the need had been met, but I'll update if I hear anything.

"mournful anarchists took vengeful action against our enemies for the murder of Cami/Tortuguita in the Atlanta Forest two days prior. We shattered dozens of windows along the glass facade of a Bank of America building in downtown Oakland, destroyed the ATM’s, and repainted the walls with people’s messages of love, memory, solidarity, and rage..."

The world is waking outside my window
Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
Drags my senses into the sunlight
For there are things that I must do
Wish me luck now, I have to leave you
Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
With my friends now up forest
We're going to shake the Gates of Hell

i don't know if this was an intentional choice made along the way by anyone, but i personally don't like the framing of "six young people charged with domestic terrorism" over the #StopCopCity #DefendTheAtlantaForest movement.

the state doesn't care if you're young, old or middle aged (they will find ways to vilify you based on any and ever characteristic and identity you have), and our support shouldn't hinge on that either. 5, 25, 55, 75 or 105, you can be a militant and revolutionary, and you deserve support against state repression no matter what as long as you aren't a snitch.

Vice News has a new quality article about the Atlanta #StopCopCity #DefendTheAtlantaForest "terrorism" arrests. It also links to the shoddy affidavits used to acquire the warrants.
