Join us as we celebrate the release of No Cop City, No Cop World: Lessons from the Movement, a collection of essays published in May 2025 by Haymarket Books. The event will bring together co-editors and contributors to the book, along with organizers from Atlanta and NYC. Discussion will focus on the movements for environmental justice, police abolition, and Indigenous sovereignty that were forged in Atlanta around a decentralized effort to stop the construction of a $120 million police training facility. Panelists include Micah Herskind, co-editor; Kamau Franklin, co-editor and founder of Community Movement Builders; Mariah Parker, co-editor; and Priscilla Grim, contributor, cultural worker, writer, and “Stop Cop City” RICO defendant. Moderated by Professor Jocelyn Simonson, Brooklyn Law School, and author of Radical Acts of Justice: How Ordinary People are Dismantling Mass Incarceration. Admission is free with RSVP.
