At heart is a 2021 ground lease agreement between the Atlanta City Council and the APF. The agreement grants APF to build a public safety training campus on 85 acres in the South River Forest, also known as Weelaunee Forest, southeast of Atlanta. The $90 million dollar project – backed by $60 million in corporate funding and $30 million in taxpayer money- has drawn the ire of environmental and civil rights groups alike.
Similar protests under the banner of “Stop Cop City” happened in cities across the country and came on the heel of escalating violence in Atlanta. “Tortuguita was murdered by a cop. Tortuguita themselves were non-binary and queer”, Hennessy, a climate justice organizer with Sixth Street Community Center, said. “It would be remiss of me not to discuss the intersectional nature of all of this. Climate justice is the liberation of queer and trans people. Climate justice is racial justice.”
