Students at Emory University and Georgia Tech are occupying their quads as part of the movement to #StopCopCity!!!

They need our support!! The admin and police are surely thinking about how to end this without generating bad headlines.

I remember being in undergrad and always wishing non-students did more to support our organizing. Student movements matter, especially when in coordination with broader movements!

If you can, head over to the campuses and hang out for a while. The more bodies the better.

Atlanta media should head to these campuses as well. Police and admin will surely try to take them down in the middle of the night, when there aren't eyes on the scene.

Students are demanding that their universities cut ties with the Atlanta Police Foundation and the Atlanta Committee for Progress, and that @andreforatlanta cancel the Cop City lease.
