Recording and Resources from Not Just Stop Cop City, Session One: The Environment
The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) and Love Resists teamed up earlier this month to host the first webinar (in a series of three) to educate people about the “Cop City” project underway in Atlanta and equip them to stop this destructive plan (and similar schemes elsewhere in the U.S.).
We invite you to:
watch the webinar recording
take action to tell CEOs to stop funding Cop City and militarized policing!
As one of our speakers said, we choose relentless optimism in the face of this struggle! Confronting the sponsoring companies about their harm to our community is the first step leading up a corporate divestment campaign AFSC will lanch in January 2024. Please stay in touch for opportunities to take further action to Stop Cop City!
Please attend our second webinar in this series, addressing abolition, on December 6th.
