   OK, so what can you do for Atlanta in honor of Tortuguita (Manuel Teran) (Rest in Power), the forest defender murdered yesterday by police in another raid, and to help #StopCopCity and preserve the Welaunee Forest?

   The struggle has been a militant one, with graffiti, arsons, tree-sits and blockades happenings alongside call-in campaigns and marches with kids. They don't necessarily need more militancy (though that's ofc welcomed too) - they do definitely need more mass participation and widespread awareness of the fight - a struggle made for 2023 combining fighting climate change as well as police impunity; racial justice as well as environmental and economic justice.

   ATL folks have made this solidarity statement and asks people and orgs far and wide to sign on. Click the link to learn how: https://defendtheatlantaforest.org/2023/01/19/solidarity/
