In Atlanta, a coalition of community members and organizations are campaigning to stop “Cop City.” If built, Cop City would be one of the largest militarized police training centers in the United States. It would also destroy much of the Weelaunee Forest, the city's largest green space – warming nearby majority Black neighborhoods by as much as 10 degrees.

Join our webinar to explore the environmental impacts of Cop City – and the long history of how those in power have worked to harm our communities and our environment. You'll hear from Atlanta activists and community members struggling to sustain the place we call home. And you'll learn ways that you can get involved to stop Cop City in order to protect people and the planet.
