Here's our group statement about right-wing mobilizations in Atlanta from Jan 16-20. For reasons outlined in the statement, we're not calling for a mass counter-mobilization on Sun. the 17th.
If you have further info on right-wing plans, reach out: afainatl [at] riseup [dot] net
Presented for documentation purposes only: here is one of the flyers going around for the Georgia State Capitol on Sun the 17th.
While these flyers are going around, at this point we have not seen evidence they're getting massive traction.
Here's the flyer for the proposed "Liberty Walk" in Midtown Atlanta, that was mentioned in our statement. It is possible this call has been superseded by calls to go to the GA State Capitol.
Reminder that throughout 2020, white supremacist Chester Doles' "American Patriots USA" organization received tacit support from the Sheriff of Lumpkin County, Stacy Jarrard @LumpkinCountySO.
In September, Doles' "American Patriots USA" held a "Back the Blue" fundraiser which they advertised as benefiting the Lumpkin County Sheriff's Office.
Despite calls from the community, Sheriff Stacy Jarrard refused to disavow the event.
THREAD: One month ago on December 12, members of the III% Security Force militia attacked unarmed anti-racist/anti-fascist counter-protesters after a rally in Atlanta.
Today we're exposing two more III%SF members in the bed of this truck, which left the garage before the attack.
Thread on Justin Daniel Gibson, exposed last month as a participant in the Dec. 12 militia gang attack.
Gibson can be seen in the bed of the truck earlier that day.
(THREAD) In the chat for the Stop the Steal - Georgia group on MeWe, Verden Andrew Nalley of LaFayette, GA has been boasting of his involvement in the Capitol Building intrusion in DC on Wednesday.
(The STS - Georgia group is not to be confused with STS Atlanta, also on MeWe.)
Nalley shared pictures from inside the US Capitol to the chat.
Nalley claims "we talk[ed] to cops inside [the Capitol]".
He also makes some highly deluded comments about what's going on right now.
Chris Georgia from our state was arrested in DC yesterday during the Trump power grab rally. Georgia faces unlawful entry and curfew violations charges.
Online, Christopher S Georgia lists his profession as a portfolio manager at BB&T. Is Georgia still working for you, @BBT?
An initial story from @wsbtv erroneously listed many names from GA. They then overcompensated with an opposite error - stating nobody from GA was arrested yesterday.
C. Georgia's 1/6 arrest was listed as taking place at the 100 block of First St NW in DC wsbtv.com/news/local/sev…
Chris Georgia's Facebook account appears to have vanished.
National "Stop the Steal" organizer Ali Alexander states on social media that he will do an event in Atlanta on Wednesday, Dec 2nd. Location has not been announced yet.
Alexander invited & prominently featured white nationalists & far-Right propagandists at earlier ATL rallies.
Here's a recent report-back discussing Ali Alexander's earlier rallies in Georgia.
