"On September 29, the Fulton County Clerk’s office scanned and uploaded the signatures, names, and full legal addresses of 116,000 civilians. These are the identities of a large number of people who signed a petition to convene a referendum on the future of Cop City. This process is being illegally suppressed by the government. While the Dickens administration and his lawyers use every legal trick they can to delay the referendum process, Brasfield & Gorrie and their subcontractors (thanks to money provided by Cadence Bank and the Atlanta City Council), are erecting barbed wire fence around Weelaunee. They are planning to move forward with construction no matter what the law says.

"We are releasing the identities and addresses of the Atlanta Committee for Progress. This Committee represents the most influential and corrupt industrial and corporate interests in the state of Georgia. The Atlanta Way, as the governing ethos of the region is commonly known, is to their primary benefit. They coordinate contracts and mega projects with local Black officials in exchange for extractive profits and unlimited privatization. They are the white power behind the Black face of municipal politics. This movement must destroy their influence in regional affairs.

They are being targeted because the Mayor’s office surely prompted the Clerk to “accidentally” release the addresses of the signatories. Since they control the Mayor, we are targeting them directly. If the City Council cannot reign in the Mayor, maybe the ACP can. We will give them some pressure to do so.

"Anyone who knows the home address of the Fulton County Clerk should publish that information.

"We cannot allow our movement to be attacked directly without responding, even if we do not believe in the referendum process per se.

"It is clear that the Mayor has lost his mind. Even his own Councilpeople are admitting that he rules like a monarch or dictator. He must step down. If he will not go willingly, he must be removed by other means. For that, we need to continue to increase participation in this bold and uncompromising movement without falling into chauvinistic sectarianism or political opportunism. We can’t expect apolitical civilians to fight against abstractions alone. They must learn step by step with their own experiences. Something they care about (their right to vote) is being attacked. We must turn this into a moment of popular education about the true function of the state, the violent reality behind the glimmering veneer of consent and democracy.

"Not for petty vengeance or individual fulfillment — for the social revolution!

"All together, step by step.

        Gun ownership wouldn’t change a thing when you’ve got the military and half the population against you, it’s about the number of people who are ready to potentially have to give their life for the cause. The French Revolution didn’t happen without revolutionaries dying, but people truly love to remind us of what the French did to the rich back then although I’m sure there aren’t many talking about that that would be ready to take a bullet to fight the powers that be…

            Because we’re talking about the army fighting on its own turf with today’s technological capacities, not grunts being dropped in the jungle or the desert.

            Heck, just go check videos of ex special forces/marines playing airsoft to have an idea how unbalanced it is against people who actually have an interest in that kind of thing but no real training. Now imagine against people who have zero interest in guns and own one out of principle only (in an hypothetical world where the anti gun message wasn’t a thing on the left)… Now imagine these people seeing their friends get blown up by drones they can’t see…

            Sorry buddy but a new US revolution would just show how ridiculous the second amendment is and prove once and for all that listening to the ideas of people born hundreds of years ago isn’t always a good idea.

        What’s funny is you believed that. We have just as many guns or more, we just don’t need to jerk them off in public, buttercup.

            Yeah, are you talking about unleashing a civil war, where neighbor goes against neighbor, father goes against son, that sort of thing? Because if you do you really really should start reading up on history to see how that turns out.

            In one wort though: bad.

            Bad for everyone.

            I fully understand that these are severe assholes that er are talking about but there are better solutions.

            You are correct. Luckily, not much training is needs to effectively use a Molotov cocktail and they can be an effective way of dealing with christofacist access to gun rooms in houses.

    There’s a searchable county real estate database…

      in my area (I’m in FL), the home addresses of judges, police, and other public officials are withheld from the public. They’re even unlabeled in our property tax database. It’s likely that the MLS has been forced to comply. But what is unavailable from the government is certainly known by Amazon, UPS/FedEx/etc, pizza chains, etc.

    Pretty sure it’s $50 for a list of all voters (name and address) registered in Fulton county during the 2020 election.

    Last time I checked, doxxing was illegal. You can’t doxx people because you got doxxed just like you can’t rob someone who robbed you.

      Cop city is worse than doxxing, and ignoring the will of the people deserves consequences far worse than simply doxxing. They’re being nice.

      Playing by the rules is a losing proposition when your opponent flagrantly ignores them.

      Would be a real shame if someone made all their data available via the onion browser on a Tor drive site. They’d never be able to tell who put it there, but it would still be easy to access.
