Stop Cop City & Defend the Atlanta Forest
Stand in solidarity with the movement to Stop Cop City and defend the Weelaunee Forest in Atlanta, by flooding the inboxes of those involved and pressuring them to halt production and stop funding the project! Atlanta’s Public Safety Training Center “Cop City” is a proposed $90 million+, state-of-the-art police training compound backed by the Atlanta Police Foundation and its corporate sponsors Amazon, Delta, Wells Fargo, Chick-fil-A and Home Depot, to name just a few. In response to the anti-police brutality protests in 2020 these companies released statement after statement condemning police violence and racism. We are calling them out for now being the most significant backers of Cop City and pressuring them to stop funding the project. What is Cop City? - A military-style training compound - Mock city for police to practice urban warfare, crowd control, raids on apartments, etc. - Black Hawk landing pad - Large-capacity shooting ranges for machine guns and heavy weaponry Bomb testing site This campaign is targeting the most influential decision-makers moving forward with the destruction of the Weelaunee Forest and development of the Atlanta’s Public Safety Training Center project. In this campaign we are targeting: 1. Corporate Funders of cop city: - Corporate Funders Investment Relations + Public Relations - Atlanta Police Foundation members - Atlanta Committee for Progress members 2. Zoning Board of Appeals 3. Dekalb CEO Michael Thurmond 4. Atlanta City Council 5. Dekalb County Office of Planning and Sustainability + Dekalb County's Permit Division 6. Mayor Andre Dickens Everyone listed above is complicit in some way with the destruction of the forest, the militarization of the police, and the development of a racist and violent project. These decision-makers and supporters have economic incentives to move forward with this project. We have created disincentives specific to influential decision-makers and supporters of Cop City production in pre-written email scripts and tweets to pressure those responsible to stop the destruction of the Weelaunee Forest and the development of Cop City!
