  • A spirited group of demonstrators showed up at Woodruff Park on Oct. 22 to rally and march as part of the National Day of Protest Against Police Brutality. Organizers cited seven deaths in Georgia at the hands of police officers since March 2009 as a sign of the "epidemic of police brutality in Georgia" according to their press release.<br />
<br />
Following the rally at Woodruff Park more than 50 protesters marched to the Atlanta Detention Center briefly shutting down one side of Peachtree Street. Outside the Detention Center a "speakout" was held. Some of the topics referenced by speakers outside the jail included the Kathryn Johnston murder, the Atlanta Eagle Raid and the need for an independent citizen police review board. As protesters spoke, cheers could be heard from prisoners inside the Detention Center.

  • ATLANTA, GA - April 5, 2011: More than 100 protesters led by seven young people brought to the United States as young children  and who were later arrested after blocking traffic in protest  marched through downtown Atlanta to raise awareness about undocumented youths.<br />
<br />
After a rally in Hurt Park near Georgia State University, protesters delivered a letter to the schools admissions office which asked GSU officials not to comply with a ban on undocumented immigrants that takes effect this fall. <br />
<br />
The Georgia Board of Regents in October voted to prohibit undocumented students from attending five of the states most selective colleges.<br />
<br />
After delivering the letter to surprised admissions officials, the hundreds-strong crowd marched and chanted "Education, not deportation," Undocumented and unafraid" and "Education, not segregation."<br />
<br />
The seven undocumented youths then unfurled banners and sat in the middle of Courtland Street, blocking traffic for close to an hour before they were all arrested. Late Tuesday evening, U.S. Customs and Immigration enforcement officials were reportedly determining whether the arrested students would face deportation.<br />
<br />
"I am doing this for my family, for my brothers and sisters, said Dayanna Rebolledo, a 21-year-old factory worker and student who came to the United States from Mexico when she was 9 years old. We are undocumented and unafraid. We are standing up for those undocumented who are afraid and who are in the shadows. We are risking everything to give our community a chance."

The Georgia Board of Regents in October voted to prohibit undocumented students from attending five of the states most selective colleges.<br />
<br />
After delivering the letter to surprised admissions officials, the hundreds-strong crowd marched and chanted "Education, not deportation," Undocumented and unafraid" and "Education, not segregation."<br />
<br />
The seven undocumented youths then unfurled banners and sat in the middle of Courtland Street, blocking traffic for close to an hour before they were all arrested. Late Tuesday evening, U.S. Customs and Immigration enforcement officials were reportedly determining whether the arrested students would face deportation.<br />

"I am doing this for my family, for my brothers and sisters, said Dayanna Rebolledo, a 21-year-old factory worker and student who came to the United States from Mexico when she was 9 years old. We are undocumented and unafraid. We are standing up for those undocumented who are afraid and who are in the shadows. We are risking everything to give our community a chance."

  • More than 50 men and women gathered on the Capitol steps today to protest state lawmakers' inability to pass popular legislation that could pave the way for Sunday alcohol sales. Senate Republican leadership decided in a closed-door meeting last week not to bring Senate Bill 10, which would allow local communities to vote on the controversial issue, to the floor for a vote. Pressure from conservative Christians and fears over how a "yea" vote might impact their political careers apparently convinced lawmakers not to push the measure. <br />
<br />
"Sunday sales is no different than the imam wanting sharia law in place," Shayna M. Steinfeld, one of the event's speakers, told the crowd.

  • ATLANTA, GA - MARCH 24 , 2011: Congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis shakes hands with protesters outside the Georgia capitol. The rally was against two controversial pieces of legislation aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration.<br />
<br />
Between speeches by immigration advocates, Democratic state lawmakers and religious leaders, the Indigo Girls performed for the large crowd.<br />
<br />
Both the House and Senate have passed their own legislative packages aimed at undocumented immigration. The bills would provide stiff penalties for people who transport or offer aid to undocumented immigrants and give police the authority to check a suspect's immigration status if the officers have "probable cause," among other changes.<br />
<br />
Critics, including civil and human rights groups, say the legislation would severely hinder Georgia industries dependent on migrant labor and likely trigger tourism and product boycotts.

  • Ernest (Shujaa) Graham points to his name on the list of 129 death row inmates who have been exonerated in the United States since 1973 at the May 17th, 2008 Troy Davis rally in front of the Georgia State Capitol. Graham was acquited of murder charges and freed from death row in 1981. <br />
<br />
Troy Davis was sentenced to death for the murder of Police Officer Mark Allen MacPhail in Savannah, Georgia; a murder he says he did not commit. There was no physical evidence against him ever found and the weapon used in the crime was also never found. The case against him consisted entirely of witness testimony which contained inconsistencies even at the time of the trial. <br />
<br />
Since then, all but two of the state's non-police witnesses from the trial have recanted or contradicted their testimony. <br />
<br />
Many of these witnesses have stated in sworn affidavits that they were pressured or coerced by police into testifying or signing statements against Troy Davis.<br />
<br />
Troy Davis has come within 24 hours of being excuted three times in the last two years before he has been granted a stay of execution despite intense doubt of his guilt he remains on death row.

  • Animal rights activists -- in town for the city's Fashion Week -- turned heads this afternoon during lunch hour at the corner of Auburn Avenue and Peachtree Street. Dressed up as a lion and tiger in body paint and little else, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals interns Mayo and Jessica covered their chests with signs that encourage people not to purchase leather, fur and exotic skins. "We are asking Atlanta's fashion-forward consumers to make a more compassionate choice by choosing animal prints instead of animal skins," said Marcia Masulla of PETA. She added that animals on fur farms are "anally electrocuted, beaten and many times skinned alive."

  • Exonerated death row inmate Ernest (Shujaa) Graham breaks down in tears during his speech in which he talked about his experience on death row at the May 17th, 2008 rally for death row inmate Troy Davis in front of the Georgia State Capitol. Graham was acquited of murder charges and freed from death row in 1981. Troy Davis was sentenced to death for the murder of Police Officer Mark Allen MacPhail in Savannah, Georgia; a murder he says he did not commit. There was no physical evidence against Davis ever found and the weapon used in the crime was also never found. The case against him consisted entirely of witness testimony. Since Davis' conviction over 17 years ago all but two of the state's nine witnesses from the trial have recanted or contradicted their testimony. Many of these witnesses have stated in sworn affidavits that they were pressured or coerced by police into testifying or signing statements against Troy Davis.
