🧵: While we still don’t have all the details, as a pastor who has long been engaged in justice work, I am concerned by what we know about last Wednesday’s show of force against the organizers of an Atlanta bail fund, & the questions it raises. (1/10)

All three SolFund arrestees are out! Thank you so much to the communities who have stood by us, to everyone who contributed to bail our folks out, and a special thanks to @bailfundnetwork for stepping up in a time of need. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us!

“I don’t find it real impressive,” Judge Altman said of the case against @ATLSolFund, adding, “there’s not a lot of meat on the bones of thousands of dollars going to illegal activities.” By me and @RaR, for @nytimes: https://t.co/DmJk7HojpV

The arrest of three activists for financial crimes has been assailed as retaliation for lawful protests. Officials said the three had “facilitated and encouraged domestic terrorism.”
