Then, we have been bringing you coverage on the protest against Atlanta’s Cop City project for some time now. Today, we get updates on the RICO case and new information about the states tactics to prosecute activists while smearing the name of a person they killed. We are joined by Aja Arnold, an Atlanta-based journalist and founding editor of local outlet Mainline. Her reporting on Atlanta’s Cop City project has been featured in The Intercept, Vice, and The Appeal. Her latest is titled, Prosecutors Smearing Dead ‘Cop City’ Activist by Publicizing Their Diary, Organizers Say.
