Okay just making a thread for the city council hearing so I don't clog everyone's TL #StopCopCity
Why is this guy making sense rn
#DearAtlantaCityCouncil Speaker making the connection between #StopCopCity, and the disinvestment in Atlanta's housing. The money from Cop City should be used to actually improve the lives of Atlantans.
She's asking Overstreet directly what is so important about Cop City that we need to have it. I loved that she said "I thought you were smarter than that."
So absolutely condescending that City Council thinks they can cut down trees in one area and then plant some baby trees in another area and then say that that will undo the damage of #CopCity. Like we know how trees work yall lol.
#DearAtlantaCityCouncil You don't get to just completely lead in ecological destruction in a forest and then plant like 5 trees near city hall and say that everything will be okay.
"Today I think it's obvious that I do want a future for all of our children." #StopCopCity
"Its not our actions that are on the voting block today." #StopCopCity
#DearAtlantaCityCouncil "THIS HAS BEEN RIDDLED WITH LIES FROM THE BEGINNING"
"In order to vote for this it will cost you your integrity." #StopCopCity
@micahinATL brings up that people have died in jail in less than 3 days (how long @ATLSolFund was in jail). True AND people die during raids themselves!!! They could have died instantly during the raid!!!
"There IS misinformation and its coming from the Mayor's office." #StopCopCity
A child forest defender is reading a portion of The Lorax to City Council
People are calling out city council members by name!!! One predicted Dustin Hillis will have a rico charge in his future. #StopCopCity
Amazing job by @barryleeart !!!!!
If you found yourself moved by their speech and also didn't mask despite the numerous pleas by disabled people who asked you to do so, ask yourself why.
Stepping out for a bit!
I actually can't believe that they only got four people.
Werent they paying people???
This story just shows really how quickly people's lives can change due to what would seemingly be a short interaction with police. Our entire lives are dependent on the smallest of rules that can be enforced any time. Does that not scare everyone???? #CopCityVote
"I want to believe that you all are just merely sheltered from the reality of what you put people through."

Feeling really conflicted and confused post the #CopCityVote about where to go from here and also my feelings on the referendum. Grateful to people like @DaShaunLH with whom I can share my thoughts, but this thread will hopefully summarize some more.
The vote happened FIVE SECONDS ago, but we got so much national and international attention so it makes sense to want to capitalize off of that but also it is difficult to balance that with moving on the state's timeline. People need time to decompress and debrief
but that also isn't conducive with moving quickly always, which is clearly what this referendum needs. I'm not sure where I'm going to spend my efforts, but it most likely won't be with the referendum. I think people who are passionate about it should continue to be

So yes I will not be going to City Hall tomorrow. No matter what happens I am so incredibly proud of the city that I call home. Everyone has worked their ass off and done so much labor (most of it unseen). I have met so many smart and dedicated people through #StopCopCity
and will forever be proud of what we have accomplished. To everyone who may be discouraged if tomorrow doesn't work out how we want it to, some affirmation is that soon you'll have been organizing so long you won't even remember all of your wins and losses..
instead you'll just focus on the beautiful network of people you've met who you know took time out of their lives to do something to make this world a little more just. We don't work on the city's timeline, and we won't let them make our city a playground

As an immunocompromised person (who has COVID for the second time), I think the responses to this are really interesting, and mostly unhelpful or generative.
I think that Mindy and others have a lot of good questions for how we could be communicating to others about COVID, and safety, and also the efficacy of that communication. Because while I can understand the responses to the word "fearmongering," simply giving people on twitter
the "scary" information about COVID is simply not working. It hasn't been. And shaming hasn't been either. AND on the flip side I get why people react strongly to this when it feels like every five days

I have been quiet on here because I'm devastated about Roe and have needed a couple of days to really put my thoughts together, especially as someone who just left repro last week.
So many great thoughts and resources have been shared. I'm seeing debates on here about who this ruling impacts, along with talking points like "rich people will be able to have abortions" but also "EVERYONE is screwed."
To put it simply, I think everyone is negatively impacted by this, regardless of gender, race, or class. Our identities mean that these negative impacts show up, and are experienced in different ways.

How about this, no more making up rules for how other people engage in organizing until you’ve door knocked in freezing temperatures, phone banked until you were screamed at :) had to choose between meetings and going to work, and actually know your neighbors.
yall Don’t even know the first rule of creating, completing and winning campaigns. Or connecting with people who completely disagree with you over a common political goal. But you’re very concerned that somewhere at sometime, someone may be smoking a blunt
Log the fuck off. Get back to work.

I was over the organizing while high tweet but actually Now I’m not because people won’t shut the fuck up about it.
I just saw something that said if you disagree you’re a reformist. Making generalized assumptions over people’s political motivations due to their relationship with drug usage is actually really fucked up.
And I’m very disappointed in anyone abled who encourages this but think it’s okay if they add a caveat for disabled people.
