Quick post on what’s happening in Atlanta right now
So there’s this beautiful trail in Atlanta called the South River Forest Trail. As we all know, Atlanta Georgia is renowned for their tree cover and historic forests.
The City of Atlanta and corporations like Delta, AT&T and Amazon are funding a massive police training center that will destroy the forest.
Dubbed ‘cop city’ by many protesters, this will cost about $90 billion with a B to build. This will be used to further militarize Atlanta’s police leading to more incidents of police brutality in the city.
On January 18th indigenous activist Manuel “Tortuguita” Teran was shot and killed by the police for defending this historic forest from destruction. Their reason? “He did not comply”. Many protests have been going on in Atlanta to defend this forest.
Since Tortuguita’s death, the situation has quickly deteriorated
This forest is very dear to me but I am unable to physically protest at the moment, so I am handing this off to Tumblr to spread awareness. Rebloging this may help this tragedy become part of national news instead of just an Atlanta problem.
not to prove my last post correct immediately but wow like thousands of people on this site saw a post that basically says "yeah, history happened. colonization happened. it's in the past, get over it and move on" because a few Maori people on this site pointed out that a SEA SHANTY you people recently decided you love is very racist. a sea shanty. we are defending colonialism and making lengthy, multi-paragraph posts about "woke-scolding" over a sea shanty. the way you reveal how little you actually care about any of the things you claim to believe in is because someone said a sea shanty you didn't know existed until last week is racist. I'm sorry but like a SEA SHANTY.
