AUC students interrupted crown forum to demand the school denounce the funding of Cop City!

Food is a human right!

If not now, then when? If not us, then who? July 23-30 ATL

Our anti-gentrification and affordable housing rally got some notice today on the street and in city hall. Let's keep the fight going

Do you collect or distribute free food in the Atlanta Area? Are you committed to solidarity with people in need? Food4Life is hosting a meeting of representatives from food solidarity groups. Let's collaborate, network, and support each other's projects!

City Wide Food Solidarity Meeting - Fri June 17 7PM - Neighborhood Church - 1561 McLendon Ave NE

Calling all groups which circulate food in Atlanta - and any which are curious about getting connected to a city-wide food network! Hope to see you there.

Yesterday Atlanta Police violently mass-arrested a crowd in a park at a #StopCopCity protest. The arrests were indiscriminate and included journalists and bystanders. We are defending these protesters and preparing to pursue legal action against the unconstitutional arrests.

Stop Cop City march for the future of Atlanta! Saturday May 14 6pm - meet at Freedom Park. From @SouthRiverGA @SURJ_Atl @survivalresist @MariposasRebel1 @Food4LifeAtl @AtlantaIWOC @CommunityMvt @SolUnderground @No_Cop_Zone

JOIN THE EFFORT This strategy depends on participation. If you share our vision, please contribute. Sign up to volunteer and set up a monthly donation. Together we can build an economy for a liberated world.

Historically, from Black liberation to labor union strikes, the ability to secure and direct basic necessities to people fighting for a cause has been vital. It's mandatory for any movement which seeks to build real power and create lasting change.

We see logistics (transporting, organizing and distributing supplies) as a key component of counter-economics - the development of a real economy which rejects capitalist values. Social movements emerge from ideas and passion, but they run on bread, diapers and medications.

LOGISTICS AND COUNTER-ECONOMICS Everyone on the Left agrees that capitalism has failed humanity. But what can we do about it, in a political system where voting and even protest seem to do little to change the conditions of daily life for oppressed people?

Through federation, we ensure that the resources we receive are strengthening a diversity of liberatory projects. We also hope to promote mutual aid as an organizing strategy by facilitating cooperation between different groups around procuring material resources.

FEDERATED MUTUAL AID As the scale of available supplies increases, we need much more capacity to distribute it all. Rather than just growing our own organization, we're making connections with other radical aid groups to help.

It also means that surplus we accumulate in Atlanta can be directed regionally, for example to respond to flooding and other disasters which impact impoverished rural communities.

REGIONAL CIRCULATION Through our partnership with Distribute Aid, we are connecting to supply chains outside the Atlanta Metro area. This allows us to source large shipments of materials from anywhere in the Southeast - and beyond.

Over a few weeks we're distributing it all with help from groups like @CommunityMvt , Marshall Rancifer's homeless outreach, and the Kilombo School. This is the beginning of an exciting new strategy the Atlanta Survival Program is pursuing.

Recently we received a shipment of dozens of pallets full of food, clothing, hygiene products, school supplies, and baby products - an entire semi-truck full of basic survival supplies.
