For immediate release
Occupy Atlanta Media Committee
The Reorganization of Occupy Atlanta
Today (10/27) Occupy Atlanta will hold a press conference at 11am in Woodruff (Troy Davis) park to discuss the reorganization of this movement.
Statement
After the events of the last few days and the release of the First 52, Occupy Atlanta has capture growing support. We understands that it is important for the movement to continue to address the broken political and economic system. It is also important that we continue to show a presence in the City of Atlanta and provide a space to reoccupy. Occupy Atlanta is committed to continuing this movement.
Press Release: Justice for All
Monday, October 24, 2011
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Today (10/24) Occupy Atlanta will hold a press conference at 11am featuring Afrika Bambaataa and Killer Mike from the Hip Hop community, Civil Rights leader Joe Beasley, Missy Stafford, the mother of Joetavious Stafford, and E Red, a close friend of Troy Davis.
The purpose of the press conference is to begin a conversation about critical flaws in the judicial system. The occupation movement started in response to a broken political system that has been hijacked by the richest 1 percent and corporations. Occupy Atlanta not only recognizes the gross economic injustice of the current wealth consolidation that has broken the political system but we are also moved to confront the inequalities in race and class in a judicial system that seems to protect the richest 1 percent and corporations at the expense of everyone else, especially communities of color. It is not by accident people of color are disproportionally represented in our jails or on death row as a result of our broken court system. It is by design. We will no longer tolerate this system.
After the press conference we will be marching to a significant symbol of our judicial system, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, 56 Forsyth Street, followed by a rally.
