Over 60 activists in Atlanta, Georgia, have been charged with illegally conspiring to stop the construction of a police training center known as "Cop City." The activists, accused of trespassing and vandalism, have been charged under the RICO Act. The project has faced violent protests, and a protester was fatally shot by police in January. Activists argue that the training center will contribute to a "hyper-militarized" police force and perpetuate racialized violence. A petition is circulating to halt the project pending a referendum.
