Cop City: Racist police terror continues in Atlanta
By Lev Koufax
On Jan. 18, police and officials demonstrated just how far they would go to secure the Cop City site for what is really a domestic military base. In short, they would kill to do so.
That day, a Georgia State Trooper executed a queer environmental activist of color, Manuel Esteban Paez Terán (known by the nickname Tortuguita.)

March 2, the day after President Joe Biden delivered the State of the Union speech, 12-year-old Thomas Siderio was shot and killed by Philadelphia police officers.
The solution to crime prevention is not to “fund, fund, fund” the police, as Biden claims, but to abolish the police and let working people — especially those in the oppressed communities most targeted by police — be empowered to create their own methods of safety in their communities, that reject racism and respect the right to life and human dignity.
Release the 55 protesters being held without charge!
End to use of teargas and flashbangs against protesters and community members!

Speech by Peoples Power Assembly activist Lars at the March 7 Baltimore “Justice for George Floyd” rally
By Lars
You cannot say that George Floyd’s case only matters in Minnesota, because the same thing happens here. You cannot say that there are too many unknowns and we have to take the police at their word, because we have the footage that says otherwise.
The deaths of Black people cannot be allowed to be accepted as normal or brushed under the rug, and let no one tell you otherwise.
By Greg Butterfield
One of the most popular slogans of the Black Lives Matter protests that spread across the U.S. in the summer of 2020 was to “Defund the police” and use that money for community needs, like expanding healthcare, improving public schools and housing the homeless. But Congress’s so-called “Police Reform Act” actually includes provisions to give millions more federal dollars to local and state police agencies in exchange for their pledge to make “reforms” like using body cameras — which have not prevented police killings in places where they have already been adopted.
People gathered at the Harriet Tubman Solidarity Center on North Charles Street on Sunday night.
“We’re here to protest and rally, to give our support. We need him convicted immediately,” said Joyce Butler, Peoples Power Assembly. “We’re calling them to accountability. It is not acceptable. We’re calling the powers to be to accountability. Minneapolis — absolutely — we’re keeping our eyes on what’s happening there. He needs to be convicted.”
“It is vital that everybody stand up. Everybody needs to stand up. We need to let our voices be heard. We need to speak loudly, absolutely. They’re carrying big sticks. We need to carry big sticks,” Butler added.
“We are here to demand, to be clear, and join thousands of others to say, the only justice for George Floyd is for Derrick Chauvin to be locked away in jail,” said Andre Powell, Peoples Power Assembly.
