Get Involved with GCV's Efforts to Stop Cop City

At Georgia Conservation Voters, we work every day to organize and empower communities to advance a more just and sustainable future and hold elected officials across Georgia accountable for their actions and votes. With that in mind, the proposed construction of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center in the Weelaunee Forest is an environmental injustice. The proposed site for “Cop City” is in the midst of an old-growth forest that has prevented flooding, preserved the soil and helped shade our city during heat waves for years. Old-growth forests are vital to helping prevent the worst effects of climate change and are an irreplaceable natural resource that takes centuries to establish. Their unique ecosystems deeply connect all living organisms and are homes for countless species of plants and animals that may not be found elsewhere. We stand against the construction of Cop City in the majority-Black community of DeKalb County.
