We can no longer afford to mobilize in reaction to what is happening.

We have to determine a political direction and alignment towards a real vision.” - Adelina Nicholls, Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights The ATL Get Ready team named criminalization as a shared reality and a political baseline for our alignment and collective action. Over the past six months, we’ve collaborated on the “Sanctuary Zone” campaign to build a community safety net across the city. We wanted to share some of what we’ve learned about what it takes for a coalition to come together and build the infrastructure needed to practice real community safety in this time of rising fascism. Thank you @wagingnv for allowing us to tell the story of this campaign.
