Rally to Stop Cop City: Stand in solidarity with the Defend Atlanta Forest Movement

  • Philadelphia City Hall 1 S 15th St Philadelphia, PA, 19107 United States (map)

Rally in solidarity with the movement to Defend the Atlanta Forest.
No Cop City Anywhere, Defend the Forest Everywhere!

Join us in remembering Tortuguita (Manuel Esteban Paez Terán), the forest defender murdered by GA police, and the other environmental activists being held without bail on trumped-up charges of domestic terrorism. Meanwhile, in our neck of the woods, Norfolk Southern is responsible for the worst toxic spill in the NE United States in decades. Follow the money, and you will find thatVanguard Group and Blackrock are majority stakeholders in Norfolk Southern AND are funders of the Cop City project.

So, we ask, who are the real domestic terrorists?

Please bring noisemakers and wear masks for Covid safety.
There may be live streaming, photography, and press at this event.

What is Cop City?
Cop City is specifically designed to train police in "crowd control" and urban warfare techniques. The City of Atlanta has leased 381 acres of Weelaunee Forest in Southeast Atlanta for $10/ear for Cop City, despite public opposition. Cop City is a military threat to Atlanta's Black and brown communities & an environmental health hazard in primarily Black neighborhoods. Cop City perpetuates the legacy of violence and racism enacted in Weelaunee Forest.
