Protesters Arrested At Georgia Tech Memorial March for Scout - Action Network
22.9.17
Protesters Arrested At Georgia Tech Memorial March for Scout - Action Network: Scout Schultz, a queer activist, was murdered by police on Saturday. Tonight, the community gathered to honor Scout's memory and stand up against the police who killed them. During an angry march, cops violently arrested several protesters simply for being in the area of a confrontation. Given the brutal track record of Georgia Tech PD, especially with queer folks and people of color, we are worried for these protesters' safety and want to get them bailed out as soon as possible.
Unfortunately we will need a lot of money - please help us raise funds to free them! All contributions will go towards releasing these protesters ASAP. In the unlikely event funds are left over, they will go towards ongoing support for protesters in Atlanta.
UPDATE: One of the arrestees is already free as of Sept 19th! Three others have yet to be arraigned. Hopefully that will happen tomorrow morning, and we will be able to update with an exact target number for this fundraiser. Georgia Tech PD is bringing outrageously false and trumped-up charges, which is an attempt to keeping protesters in jail for longer by increasing the bail. Please keep the contributions coming, they will be needed!
