The City of Atlanta is funding $90 million “Cop City” despite overwhelming community opposition,
destroying up to 380 acres of the Weelaunee Forest in the process.
In order to fund and build out Cop
City, the Atlanta Police Foundation and Atlanta public officials require investors and contractors.
The City of Atlanta approved and is funding the Atlanta Police Foundation’s $90 million “Cop City”, where
police will be trained on how to inflict militant violence on their communities, destroying up to 380 acres of
precious Atlanta forest to do so. Coined as the “lungs of Atlanta” by the city government, the Weelaunee
forest is crucial to the overall health of the surrounding, majority Black, community. Additionally, the
increased police presence in this neighborhood poses a genuine danger to the community given policing trends
in Black communities. It’s no surprise that the vast majority of Atlanta residents are against Cop City.
Atlanta police already murdered Manuel Terán, also known as Tortuguita, for defending these forests, proving
yet again that Cop City is not created for the safety and service of the community.
