Hello 350CT!

Thanks for your interest in the fight to Stop Cop City and Defend the Atlanta Forest. I am part of an emerging coalition in Connecticut building solidarity events and raising funds for Atlanta Forest Defenders. On Tuesday, Feb. 7, we had our first meeting with around forty activists and community members from around the state. Coalition participants include members of Sunrise CT, 350CT, Service Employees International Union, Connecticut Climate Crisis Mobilization (C3M), Workers’ Voice, National Education Association, Herban Bridge Allies, Save Remington Woods, CT DSA EcoSocialists, Greater New Haven NAACP, and more. We hope to substantially expand individual and organizational supporters.

The next planning meeting will be on Zoom, Thursday Feb. 16 @ 7PM. Please register here!

For updates, we suggest following the coalition’s Instagram: @stopcopcityct

We ask that supporters share this email with friends, family, coworkers, and their organizing lists!

Stop Cop City CT Coalition is calling for pickets against major Cop City supporters during a nationwide week of action from Feb. 19-26. Connecticut is home to AXA XL Reinsurer’s international headquarters. AXA XL is the main insurance company backing the project and has been identified as the main target of activists’ corporate campaign.

The current week of action plan includes mass flyering and postering every day, as well as in-person pickets:

Monday Feb. 20, 11AM-1PM

AXA XL Headquarters, 677 Washington Blvd, Stamford, CT

Friday Feb. 24, 11AM-1PM

Atlas Technical Consultants, 290 Roberts St, East Hartford, CT

In solidarity,

Fiona
