On my way to #CriticalMass #Atlanta I biked by a Little Free Library I didn't know about before! I added it to Open Street Map and did another #BannedBook distro. This one included "The 1619 Project: Born on the Water" by Nikole Hannah-Jones, Renée Watson, Nikkolas Smith and another copy of "The Little Rock Nine".

Atlanta needs to look deeper into why Republican AG Chris Carr brought these specific charges against these protesters at this specific time since it suggests RICO could be unfair, a political 'advantage' he could be indirectly seeking to provide the Trump clan.

Today in Labor History September 24, 1906: The Atlanta massacre ended on this day. Rioting by white mobs began on September 22 after newspapers published several luridly detailed and unsubstantiated reports of black men allegedly raping 4 local women. The racist mobs destroyed black businesses and homes, killing at least 25 African Americans (official reports). However, the actual death toll may be closer to 100. Black men, including university professors, met to organize defense committees and began arming themselves. However, police and state militias raided their meetings and disarmed them. One cop was killed in the fight. W. E. B. Du Bois, who was teaching at Atlanta University at the time, purchased a shotgun when rioting broke out. "I bought a Winchester double-barreled shotgun and two dozen rounds of shells filled with buckshot. If a white mob had stepped on the campus where I lived I would without hesitation have sprayed their guts over the grass." The massacre was not publicly marked in Georgia until 2006, its 100th anniversary, nor made part of state's curriculum for public schools until 2007.

Frustrating part of living in #Atlanta is you'll meet someone who is a possible cool new friend but it turns out they actually live a 40 minute drive away
2/ Gerstein, cont'd:
Meese notes at outset of his statement that he's 91. Presumably, he won't be showing up in person at evidentiary hearing in #Atlanta tomorrow where Clark is supposed to show his prosecution for 2020 election tampering intrudes on his fed duties. So,he won't be open to being cross-examined & as a result, unclear whether judge will consider Meese's statement. Not clear if Clark himself will testify. Fulton Cty DA has subpoenaed another Trump Asst. AG, Jody Hunt, for hearing.

Block Cop City group issues call for mass action to stop construction
"“It is useless to wait,” the landing page of the group’s website reads. “With our future on the line and the whole world watching, we’ll take a stand to bend the course of history. If the city government does not halt construction in order to listen to the people, then we will simply have to do it ourselves: a People’s Stop Work Order.”
The group says it plans to hold a 50-city tour in the runup to the mass action and then a convening in Atlanta beginning Nov. 10 and ending with the mass action at the construction site."
Yesterday the #Atlanta #Beltline announced the light rail extension will have grass tracks! Previously they had said this wasn't feasible.
" #MARTA has authorized a final design contract to deliver construction documents, with an intended construction start in spring 2025. The project will extend Atlanta Streetcar service from downtown Atlanta to Ponce de Leon Avenue, including three stop locations along the BeltLine’s Eastside Trail."

BREAKING: Atlanta City Councilwoman Keisha Sean Waites, who voted NOT to authorize $67 million in "Cop City" funds, posts a statement that she will support colleague efforts or propose legislation to put a "Cop City" referendum on the November ballot next Monday (h/t Sean Keenan)
#Atlanta’s cover up lies and clear cutting trees continue apace. Ban #CopCity #StopCopCity https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/sep/11/atlanta-petition-police-cop-city-georgia
Despite having gathered over 115,000 signatures of local voters who want to put #StopCopCity on the ballot - the city of #Atlanta is attempting to block the referendum. Today, officials refused to accept boxes of signatures, and claim they are waiting for "a decision from the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals over whether" a recent "judge’s deadline extension was lawful."
When their power is threatened - Democrats - just as with the Republicans - are doubling down on voter suppression and the trampling of basic democratic rights.
What are the "proper channels" for change, when the State is hell bent on following even its own basic rules?

Stunned that this isn't getting more attention in the local press, but I guess we do have a lot going down in the ATL at the moment
#Atlanta #ATL #Journalism #Journodon #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #LGBTQIAPlus
This morning in #Atlanta five people, including faith leaders and community members, chained themselves to equipment at the construction site of the Cop City project.
"There is a war happening against protesters. If we don’t stand up for our right to protest now, standing up in the future will be in vain. Cop city is in the process of being built and this can only continue if we allow it," said Ayeola, one of the protesters arrested on site.
Regarding the referendum against Cop City, Ayeola said, "As Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens fights against our right to stop cop city via the ballot, we must continue our struggle to stop the project with direct actions like sit-ins, boycotts, and blockades."
"This movement cannot be won with a ballot alone; we must organize together for mass direct actions if we want to have a chance at protecting our community and saving our planet."
"Despite the repressive tactics of authorities who wish to disenfranchise the community and charge protestors with domestic terrorism and RICO, people of faith will continue to act to resist the militarization of our society," said Reverend Dave Dunn.
All of the protesters gathered outside of the construction site for the support rally were able to get away safely.
The construction of Cop City and the destruction of the South River Forest have continued despite over 100,000 Atlanta residents signing a ballot initiative calling for a referendum on the issue. The City of Atlanta has fought the referendum with technical obstructions.
On Tuesday, Georgia Attorney General Christopher Carr announced indictments against 61 cop city protestors on RICO and money laundering charges. These charges are in addition to the dozens of domestic terrorism charges that have been levied against cop city protestors.
Civil rights groups across the country have condemned the charges, and in June Dekalb County District Attorney Sherry Boston announced that her office would not join the State in the prosecution of the domestic terrorism charges, citing a lack of evidence.
Cop City would be the largest police training compound in the United States, and would train police from around the world in militarized tactics. The initial phases of the construction of the facility has already destroyed 85 acres of the South River forest, a critical ecological resource situated in a majority black community.
On January 18th Georgia State Police shot and killed Manuel "Tortuguita" Terán as they camped in the South River Forest to protest Cop City. An independent autopsy found that they had their hands up in the air and were sitting cross-legged when they were killed. No gunpowder residue was found on their hands.
