Atlanta Forest Defenders occupy the Weelaunee Forest in Atlanta, Georgia, in protest of ‘Cop City’, a $90 million police training facility poised to replace the forest. The forest encompasses a three-hundred-acre, tract of land that sits in a poor and predominantly Black part of the city. Photographed for The Guardian.
