Atlanta City Council is at it again! While they're gearing up to pass the FY22 budget with an increase of 6% to police funding, we're getting ready for DeFUNd Weekend! On Saturday June 5 10:00 AM we'll be canvassing at Perkerson Park talking to our neighbors about abolition & our demands for City Council to Defund APD and Refund Communities! (Read our demands and sign on here!) Then, unwind with us on Sunday 6/6 at 4:00 PM at Noni's for a film screening of testimonials from organizers and community members, explaining why this is #NotOurBudget! Want to help us out?
