About This Podcast
As the country grappled with the aftermath of the 2020 uprising, a new anti-police struggle emerged in Atlanta, Georgia. In 2022, Garrison Davis traveled to Atlanta to report on protests surrounding the construction of a controversial police training facility being built in the Weelaunee Forest on the edge of the city. Over three years, Atlanta ironically became a training ground for anarchists, while the state tested strategies for the next generation of counterinsurgency tactics.
