Letter Writing to Jailed Forest Defenders

Link / Additional Info

💌❤️‍🔥💌 We love you forest defenders! JOIN US for a cozy evening of letter writing to jailed forest defenders. We'll have materials! Bring your friends, your solidarity and your love for forest defenders targeted by police and politicians for their protection of the Weelaunee Forest. People across Turtle Island have showed up to defend the Weelaunee Forest to prevent a massive cop training center and Hollywood-esque sound stage from being built. From the beginning, the Atlanta Police Department has aggressively arrested and prosecuted protestors -- from labeling forest defenders "domestic terrorists" to ramping up arrests after the APD's horrific murder of Tortuguita. Late last month, several forest defenders were denied bail and others were granted bond at an unprecedented cost of $355,000 each. As @atlantasolidarityfund says: these are punitive measures intended to isolate activists and drain their emotional and financial resources. But we won't let that happen! By letter writing, we can make it clear they're not alone - we're with them and sending all our solidarity, from Chicago to Atlanta. Accessibility info: There are two steps to get into the bookstore.
