The city of Atlanta and the Atlanta police foundation are planning on bulldozing hundreds of acres of forest at the old Atlanta prison farm in order to build a new police training facility. The plans even include a mock city for police to practice in. A new initiative is forming to stop this.

Defend the forest, no cop city.

How to Distributed Sound System for Political Demonstrations

"Having an amplified sound system is a key component at marches, rallies, demonstrations, press conferences (and especially car caravans in the COVID-19 era). But too often events are under-resourced - where small speakers simply aren’t enough for large crowds to hear.

One solution: distributed sound systems - using an FM Radio transmitter to allow for additional speaker systems (or car stereos) to amplify the sound coming from a main stage to a much wider area. For large crowds of thousands of people - this can be a functional (and often better) alternative to hiring a large audio production company that can easily cost $5-10k."

Using an FM transmitter music/chants/info can be spread a large distance. Using cars wired with speakers tuned into the FM signal, sound can be transmitted a large distance "any car stereo can become an extension of the main stage"
