They Doxxed Us, We Dox Them – Scenes from the Atlanta Forest
"On September 29, the Fulton County Clerk’s office scanned and uploaded the signatures, names, and full legal addresses of 116,000 civilians. These are the identities of a large number of people who signed a petition to convene a referendum on the future of Cop City. This process is being illegally suppressed by the government. While the Dickens administration and his lawyers use every legal trick they can to delay the referendum process, Brasfield & Gorrie and their subcontractors (thanks to money provided by Cadence Bank and the Atlanta City Council), are erecting barbed wire fence around Weelaunee. They are planning to move forward with construction no matter what the law says.
"We are releasing the identities and addresses of the Atlanta Committee for Progress. This Committee represents the most influential and corrupt industrial and corporate interests in the state of Georgia. The Atlanta Way, as the governing ethos of the region is commonly known, is to their primary benefit. They coordinate contracts and mega projects with local Black officials in exchange for extractive profits and unlimited privatization. They are the white power behind the Black face of municipal politics. This movement must destroy their influence in regional affairs. They are being targeted because the Mayor’s office surely prompted the Clerk to “accidentally” release the addresses of the signatories. Since they control the Mayor, we are targeting them directly. If the City Council cannot reign in the Mayor, maybe the ACP can. We will give them some pressure to do so.
"Anyone who knows the home address of the Fulton County Clerk should publish that information.
"We cannot allow our movement to be attacked directly without responding, even if we do not believe in the referendum process per se.
"It is clear that the Mayor has lost his mind. Even his own Councilpeople are admitting that he rules like a monarch or dictator. He must step down. If he will not go willingly, he must be removed by other means. For that, we need to continue to increase participation in this bold and uncompromising movement without falling into chauvinistic sectarianism or political opportunism. We can’t expect apolitical civilians to fight against abstractions alone. They must learn step by step with their own experiences. Something they care about (their right to vote) is being attacked. We must turn this into a moment of popular education about the true function of the state, the violent reality behind the glimmering veneer of consent and democracy.
"Not for petty vengeance or individual fulfillment — for the social revolution!
"All together, step by step.
