In the face of unceasing, authoritarian state repression against activists, immigrants, and community members in the current political moment, how can we transmute our struggles into strength, and effectively keep one another safe?
In 2023, 61 protesters fighting deforestation and police militarization in Atlanta were indicted in a domestic terrorist RICO conspiracy case for their activism by the Trumpist Georgia Attorney General, Chris Carr. The trial of the Atlanta 61 has the potential to set legal precedents that will ricochet throughout our movements and affect our work for years to come. We know that the scale of repression leveled by the state is an indicator of the success of our movements, and that from the forest to the courts, the frontlines are everywhere. Repression intends to demobilize us; anti-repression is what enables us to continue!
Join us to discuss the history and background of the ongoing Atlanta 61 case, state repression against movements, how to build up anti-repression infrastructure locally, and how this outlandish case applies to repression our communities face today.
