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!

Script: “My name is _____ and I’m calling to demand that Atlas and its subsidiary, Long Engineering, cut all ties to projects destroying forestland in Atlanta with “Cop City” contractors Brasfield & Gorrie. Atlas brands itself as a leader in environmental social governance, yet it continues to provide services to Brasfield & Gorrie, which plans to raze over 300 acres of the Weelaunee Forest. Also, on January 18, 2023, police murdered an environmental protester at the site of this project. Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, the Rainforest Action Network, and the Center for Biological Diversity have made statements in support of the forest defenders. This despicable disregard for life calls into question the publicly traded company’s commitment to human rights, environmental justice, and positive community impact. Atlas is now complicit in MURDER and ECOCIDE. Drop the contact!”
