The referendum campaign to Stop Cop City continues through September! Help us call City of Atlanta voters to get them to support our campaign! Our next phonebanking session is Wednesday, September 27th at 6:00 PM. 

 

This is a virtual event. A link to attend this virtual event will be emailed upon RSVP.

LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE! The Vote to Stop Cop City campaign has submitted 116,000 signatures from City of Atlanta voters who support putting Cop City on the ballot for a referendum this November. Atlantans overwhelmingly support their right to have a say in whether $67 million of their taxpayer money is spent on a militarized police training facility that would destroy vital green space in the South River Forest. The people of Atlanta have spoken and now we must hold City Council members accountable to our democratic mandate.

 

Please call and write your Council Members to ask them to accept our petition and support putting Cop City on the ballot!

Join us on Zoom as we kick off phase 2 of DSA's efforts to Stop Cop City with a referendum campaign! Over the past few months, we've worked with a broad coalition to collect 116,000 signatures from Atlanta voters who want a vote on whether to stop Cop City. Now we need to hold our City government accountable and put Cop City on the ballot. Join us as we strategize and organize together to stop Cop City!

Wednesday, September 27 8-9pm on Zoom

 

💰 Fulton County Abortion Fund 💰

Last year, Atlanta City Council signed legislation to allocate $300,000 of city funds to support the efforts of Access Reproductive Care (ARC) Southeast, a nonprofit that provides funding assistance for costs associated with abortion. Now, we’re calling on Fulton County to do the same!
