No Cop City, No Cop World

A collection of essays from the Stop Cop City movement on the fight against police abolition and for a liveable planet for all, with gripping reporting from activists on the ground and rousing articles from renowned radical academics The Stop Cop City movement is a decentralized effort to stop the construction of a $120 million police training facility and the destruction of nearly 100 acres of the Weelaunee Forest outside of Atlanta, Georgia. This is the first collection of essays bringing together organizers and activists who have been involved in the years-long struggle to Stop Cop City. Connecting movements for environmental justice, police abolition, and Indigenous sovereignty, this expansive collection highlights the strategy, tactics and ideologies that transformed a local collective action into a powerful international movement. Featuring the voices of forest defenders, environmental justice advocates, political prisoners, Indigenous activists, abolitionists, educators, legal scholars, and academics, these wide-ranging essays explore the history of the intersectional movement, the diverse tactics embraced by activists, tributes to Tortuguita, the 26 year old queer Indigenous forest defender murdered by Georgia State Police, and the intense police and legal repression faced by organizers. Making critical connections between oppression and resistance at home and abroad, the movement to Stop Cop City has expanded to a fight against a Cop World.
