Banger of a benefit coming to HLR IN ONE WEEK share this post like crazy
Benefit for
@pdx_jailsupport and
@defensefundpdx as a nod to the forest defenders in atlanta whose RICO charges were just dropped (though they still face domestic t*rrorism charges), and to honor Tortuguita, murdered by police in the Atlanta forest January 18, 2023. Reports and witnesses say Tort was sitting on the ground with their hands up when they were sh*t by Georgia State Patrol.
VIVA TORTUGUITA

#ForestDefenderDay
Three years have passed since Georgia State Patrolmen Jerry Parrish, Bryland Myers, Jonathan Salcedo, Ronaldo Kegel, Royce Zah, and Mark Jonathan Lamb entered the Weelaunee Forest in southeast Atlanta with their guns drawn. They shot and killed Manuel Teran, known to fellow forest defenders as Tortuguita. Today, the same struggles continue against the same forms of oppression, animated by the spirit of Tortuguita. The past does not pass.
This is a call to take action on the anniversary of that tragedy.
This January 18, take action to remember Tortuguita and all who have fallen in defense of the Earth. Organize a march, rally, or vigil. Gather with friends, comrades, and family to mourn and heal and grow stronger together.
Plan an information session on those living on the run, under siege, or under surveillance. Host a power-mapping session about a local police foundation, a detention center, or a surveillance network. Organize a hike through a public park or forest and commit to defend that place from destruction.
