NO COP CITY. Lessons from Atlanta’s Defend the Forest Struggle
@ Pilsen Community Books
1102 W 18th St, Chicago IL, 60608
Opening Wednesday, July 20th, from 7PM - 8PM
Across the country, corporate developers are teaming up with city governments to destroy our land, control the spaces in which we live, and imprison our people in the name of law, order, and the economy. Most recently, in the wake of the George Floyd Uprising, police in Atlanta are attempting to clearcut the city’s forest to build an anti-urban unrest training facility. On July 20th, join us for a presentation by some Forest Defenders from Atlanta about how they are courageously resisting this encroachment, followed by a discussion of how we might adapt the lessons from this struggle locally here in Chicago.
