The Cop City nightmare escalated when three organizers with the Atlanta Solidarity Fund (ASF) were arrested in a militarized SWAT raid under the preposterous felony charges of charity fraud and money laundering. Adele Maclean, Marlon Kautz, and Savannah Patterson are just a few of the brave activists fighting Atlanta’s sinister Cop City. The Solidarity Fund Three each face up to 20 years in prison.
Founded in 2016, ASF provides financial assistance to individuals who have been targeted by the government for dissenting opinions. For two years, they have been allies of the Stop Cop City movement, providing bail money, finding lawyers, and giving grants to activist groups. Get more info at atlsolidarity.org.
These shocking and vicious arrests are another blatant attempt to criminalize and intimidate protesters. The accusers insist that ASF misleads donors about where their money ends up, but that’s a lie. The power-mad swine forcing Cop City into existence must be monitored and countered at every turn, lest they destroy the lives of these and other just freedom fighters! Free all political prisoners!
