FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 31, 2023
#StopCopCity Press Conference Today at 6:30PM at Dekalb County Jail
ATLANTA, GA — Activists from the #StopCopCity movement will gather tonight at the Dekalb County Jail (4425 Memorial Dr, Decatur, GA 30032) at 6:30 p.m. for a press conference and vigil, in support of the three individuals arrested this morning in a SWAT raid for their involvement with the Atlanta Solidarity Fund (ASF). ASF is a critical bail fund that has served the Atlanta community and worked to protect the right to protest since 2016.
What: #StopCopCity press conference and vigil in support of arrested comrades
When: Wednesday, May 31, 2023 at 6:30 p.m.
Where: Dekalb County Jail, 4425 Memorial Dr, Decatur, GA 30032
This morning’s arrests communicate the false message that it is illegal to provide legal support for those who have been criminalized. If these charges are upheld, they would set a dangerous precedent. Activists and community members will continue to fight the charges at every step of the way. The blatant acts of intimidation against those opposing this police training compound reinforce the necessity that Cop City never be built.
The press conference will be followed by a rally and a free food distribution. The police will never stop us from fighting for our communities!
