Protestors have launched an encampment for Gaza and at Emory College here in Atlanta!

They have sent a list of supplies needed. There's already been violent arrests with one student already held down and repeatedly tased.

If you can't make it to donate please send some money to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund to bail out the arrested protestors.

this morning (4/25) at 7:30a students and protestors set up an encampment on the quad of Emory University in Atlanta demanding the university divest from Israel and connection to Cop City. within three hours ATL PD and Georgia State Patrol began dispersing the crowd with pepper bullets and tear gas and arresting at least 18 people for trespassing. it was reported at least one student was tased repeatedly. Emory administration just locked the majority of campus buildings to card access only and sent an email to faculty, staff, and students denouncing the protests as “completely unacceptable.”

[suguci]

Hello everyone!

Currently, in Atlanta, GA in the USA, students are being forcibly removed and arrested from the Emory College campus doing peaceful, protest encampment for the people in Gaza who are being massacred every single day.

Police are using tear gas, rubber bullets, and tasers to violently remove unarmed students from campus. Students are being revoked of their right to protest.

I've lived in Georgia my whole life. Police brutality is incredibly common here, and it is unfortunate & not surprising that it is happening, especially in Atlanta (where it's known to be cop central in the state).

Please, if you can help, donate, or share, that would be amazing. Please help these students be free so they can continue to help the people of Gaza, and rightfully protest (as it's their right to do so).

Thank you, Emory students for using your right to speak against the massacre in Gaza. I am with you.

#Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Build rail for tomorrow's city, not today's

Darin Givens | April 23, 2024

There are many logical reasons to cast a critical eye on the streetcar extension to the Eastside Beltline, and we should never spend this much money without arguing.

But folks, please stop acting like we can only build rail for the current conditions in a place -- this wrong assumption is the foundation for too many arguments against Beltline rail. We should build rail for the future version of Atlanta.

Obviously, we've screwed up in the past and built rail for "current conditions" and not for walkable growth, and that's a set of mistakes we should remember...

We built the MARTA heavy-rail system to serve as commuter lines to a Downtown Central Business District as it existed in the 1970s, but the system ended up being dwarfed by both job sprawl and residential sprawl, while too many of our rail stations were ensconced in parking lots and low-density development.

And we built a streetcar for tourists that runs mostly empty throughout the week because we included no walkable-density plan, leaving it surrounded by too many parking lots and empty properties -- and saddling it with interstate access points that challenge walkability.

So let's learn from our mistakes and start matching investment in high-capacity transit with transit-supportive density for the future. Is the Beltline a great place for doing that? I think so. It's a growth corridor, and the route is level for rail with only a few tricky intersections.

I think it's absolutely a good thing for people to disagree and have healthy debate about this, but the debate needs to be informed by the fact that building rail for current conditions is a mistake, as evidenced by our past, and that remedying that mistake means thinking about high-capacity transit in a new way.

Opposing Beltline rail in terms of what the conditions are on the corridor today is a bad faith argument. It's unfair to the future of the city to burden it with more of that same problematic planning decisions of the past.

Trevonte Helton, a 29 year old Black man, "was found hanging from a tree at High Shoal Falls in North Georgia." This man was murdered, and their quick eagerness to call this an "isolated" incident is just horrifying.

I haven't heard people talking about this much, but I feel like it's important for people to know. Especially since SB 63 essentially bans bail funds by not allowing organizations, charities, individuals, or groups to bail out more than three people per year and requiring them to register as bonding agencies.

This is a direct response to all the protests happening here in Atlanta. So far, spreading the word can help as well as donating to The Atlanta Solidarity Fund .

In the meantime, here's some phone numbers of politicians you can go bug.

Randy Robertson (Guy who's sponsoring the bill): [phone]

Brian Kemp (Governor of Georgia): [phone]

placing moral value on words like "crime" or "terrorism" reinforces the logic of the state that terms them.

The 109-page indictment paints the movement to oppose the construction of a massive police training center in the Atlanta area’s Weelaunee Forest as a criminal conspiracy, and it goes back to the Minneapolis police department’s killing of George Floyd, which took place almost a year before Cop City was announced.

By doing so, the National Lawyers Guild said in a press statement, the indictment “attempts to render all mass protest against police violence and racism—including the killing of Rayshard Brooks by Atlanta police—an ‘unlawful conspiracy’ or ‘racketeering.’ ”
