After checking the news from Georgia Public Broadcasting and reading a copy of an executive order closing (sections of) so-called Intrenchment Creek Park from the Dekalb County CEO that was posted on Friday I made a startling observation:
Weelaunee People’s Park parking lot, where police and contractors have destroyed memorials for Tortugita and posted “no trespassing” signs today (Monday March 27th), is not within any of the closed properties listed in Dekalb County Executive Order 2023-001, the order that is being used to justify today’s horrific actions. Policing and clear-cutting forests pose threats to all life in the Weelaunee forest and beyond.
The executive order can be found on Georgia Public Broadcasting’s website: https://www.gpb.org/sites/default/files/2023-03/dekalb_county_executive_order_03-24-23.pdf

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.

The “terrorism” charges being unleashed on the music festival goers in Atlanta is an attempt at collective punishment by the pigs.
It’s designed to make different factions in the #nocopcity movement to become at odds with one another.
A test of solidarity.

Students across Atlanta are organizing against Cop City with protests recently occurring at Moorehouse, Spelman, Clark Atlanta, Georgia Tech, Georgia State, and Emory. This is only the beginning as more and more people join the struggle to #StopCopCity and defend the Weelaunee forest. College students have a deep history of being intimately involved with social revolutions, including the Civil Rights movement, especially in Atlanta. These protests are a testament to the community momentum gathered over the last two years. We must keep moving forward and STOP COP CITY!

"..the vote to remove Ponitz was arranged by committee chairs Alison Clark & Sharon Williams to take place by a controversial "vote of exception" in which only 'No' votes were counted directly.
While the name of the committee implies it is made up of "Community Stakeholders," several Atlanta Police Department leaders & Atlanta city gov.officials were allowed to count as voting in favor of removing Ponitz while community members like Billingslea were not."
"The state and ruling class are trying to create the impression that they are beating our movement. In fact, they are running out of options, falling back on ever harsher methods of coercion and ever more transparent ploys for consent. If this line of effort fails, their only choice will be to double-down on repression and trigger a bigger political crisis – or to retreat."

Atlanta Community Press Collective has just released this video in the direct aftermath of the police murder of #Tortuguita in the Weelaunne forest on January 18th.
They write:
"Moments after police opened fire on Tortugita, killing them, and Atlanta Police officer can be heard saying, "Man...you fucked your own officer up?" in reference to the trooper that was also shot."

"The struggle in Atlanta’s Weelaunee forest and against Cop City has been waged on many fronts: treesits, rallies, community meetings, targeted property destruction, lawsuits. Recently, police attacks and the assassination of Tortuguita dealt many of us a devastating blow. But the choice by Mayor Dickens to continue with Cop City in the face of mounting nationwide opposition also poses risks for the Atlanta ruling class. If we size up our enemy’s vulnerabilities, and strike effectively, we can win."

ATLANTA, USA: NOC ZEMSTY DLA TORTUGUITA
https://czarnateoria.noblogs.org/general/atlanta-usa-noc-zemsty-dla-tortuguita/
"W sobotę protestujący w Altancie przeszli do ofensywy, rzucając kamieniami i zapalonymi fajerwerkami w wieżowiec, w którym mieści się Atlanta Police Foundation, rozbijając duże szklane okna. Następnie podpalili policyjny samochód, rozbili więcej okien i zostawili ściany pomalowane antypolicyjnym graffiti."
