ATLANTA UPDATES: ACTIVISTS OF THE STOP COP CITY MOVEME
Stahimili Mapp is in conversation with two activists in the Atlanta area who will give updates on the Stop Cop City movement. Mary Hooks is a self-defined Black radical lesbian activist, longtime activist with Southerners On New Ground (SONG), the Black Lives Movement, and a spokesperson for the Stop Cop City Coalition. Lorraine Fontana is also a member of SONG and a supporter of Zami Nobla (the National Organization of Black Lesbians on Aging) and a member of the Chris Ducusin Advocacy Collective in Atlanta, who describes herself as a working-class dyke from Queens, NY. .
Both of these women describe current efforts to end the destruction of the forest outside Atlanta in order to erect a facility to train police, firefighters and other law enforcers in the arena of urban control. We will hear updates on the status of the Stop Cop City resisters brought up on conspiracy and terrorism charges, a report on the visit last month of the parents of slain Indigenous nonbinary activist Tortuguita who delivered a message to people gathered at a Stop Cop City demo, and finally the role of queer folk in this movement.
