Phone Blast: ATX to ATL Stop Cop City Solidarity Action

Black text on a red background reading #StopCopCityAnonymous transmission

Cop City Contractors ATLAS Technical Consultants have their national headquarters in Austin. Local activist and mutual aid groups have called for a city and nation-wide call-in action tomorrow, Wednesday January 25th, to demand that ATLAS drop their contract with the project. The ‘Stop Cop City’ movement in Atlanta is gaining more and more national attention in in the wake of the police murder of a forest defender. With public attention at an all time high, pressure campaigns stand to be a particularly effective tactic to avenge Tortuguita’s death by ensuring that Cop City will never be built!

“How Far We’ve Come”: Austin in the Streets Against Attacks on Abortion Access

Anonymous transmission originally published on It’s Going Down. We have swapped out some of the media at the end of the article.

The memory of 2020 is still around and led to a pretty inspiring demo in Austin, TX. Crowds protesting the ascendance of patriarchal state denials of abortion access, have shown their boldness, and openness to creativity and confrontation. If the movement can produce new targets, confront the police, and disrupt the infrastructure of the anti-abortion movement, they may produce a crisis to which the State has to respond.

Austin Autonomedia: Keeping Austin Criminal

In the early days of January, Austin’s “You’re My Butter Half” mural was modified to read “You’re My Butt Hole.” A picture of the vandalism was posted to reddit, where the original artist responded positively.

We’ve republished both statements here, and follow up with some commentary on the recent history & implications of mural defacement in Austin.

On June 8th, as 2000+ people converge at the Treaty People Gathering in Northern Minnesota to escalate the resistance against the Line 3 pipeline, a group of activists in Austin, TX demonstrated our solidarity with water protectors up north. Early in the morning, we dropped a banner reading “Stop Line 3: Honor the Treaties” from a bridge above a busy stretch of Interstate 35. We raised another banner declaring, “All Pipelines Have A Body Count – Blood On Your Hands: Defund Line 3” at a downtown office of JP Morgan Chase, a primary funder of the pipeline.
