On Wednesday, January 18 26-year-old activist Tortuga was shot and killed by Atlanta police while protesting the construction of the planned $90 million Atlanta Public Safety Training Center (or ‘Cop City’), an 85-acre police training facility in the South River Forest. But what is Cop City? Why is it being built? What has the organizing looked like even prior to the violent and deadly repression organizers and activists experienced at the hands of law enforcement? We are joined by Tunde Osazua, a member of the Atlanta chapter of the Black Alliance for Peace (or BAP), who is also a member of BAP’s national coordinating committee. He’s also a part of a broader coalition of individuals and orgs fighting back against Atlanta’s Cop City plan.
