Banners Dropped in Solidarity Against Cop City – Seattle, WA

Southbound I-5 commuters were greeted the morning of June 26th to three banners dropped over the 45th st, 50th st and 70th st overpasses in Seattle.

The banners read "STOP COP-CITY" "RIP TORTUGUITA", in solidarity with the fight against Cop City and in memorial of Manuel 'Tortuguita' Terán, a gender non-conforming activist who was murdered by Atlanta PD while defending the Weelaunee forest.

On the heels of Seattle's corporate-sponsored Pride weekend, we remember our queer siblings who are killed by the same governments and corporations that feign tolerance and inclusion until we become a thorn in their side. May these thorns infect and destroy this bureaucratic machine.

REST IN PEACE TORTUGUITA

COP CITY WILL NEVER BE BUILT.
