In the first of our series on the Atlanta Forest Defenders and Weelaunee Forest, we talk with a climate activist and forest defender about their time in the Weelaunee Forest during the March 2023 week of protest and action. J talks about the urgency of solidarity, resistance to Cop City, the beauty of Weelaunee Forest, and hope for all of our futures.
