Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Atlanta Prosecutors Drop Money Laundering Charges for Cop City Bail Fund Activists

HeadlineSep 18, 2024

In Atlanta, prosecutors on Tuesday dropped all money laundering charges against three activists who were accused of misusing a bail fund to support protests against Cop City, a multimillion-dollar police training complex. Atlanta Solidarity Fund organizers Marlon Kautz, Adele MacLean and Savannah Patterson are still facing racketeering charges as part of a sweeping RICO case that includes at least 58 other Stop Cop City activists indicted last year. Advocates celebrated the victory, writing in a statement, “From the beginning, we knew these charges were not based on any evidence, but were instead politically motivated and intended to target a social movement.”
