Atlanta Protest Organizers Charged with Money Laundering in Connection to 'Cop City' Protests.

Three activists who have been aiding jailed protesters of a planned police training site in Georgia were arrested in a raid on Wednesday. Marlon Scott Kautz, Adele Maclean, and Savannah D. Patterson are charged with money laundering and charity fraud. They are leaders of the Atlanta Solidarity Fund that supports the movement against the planned center, which opponents call 'Cop City.' The activists' arrest warrants accuse the trio of 'misleading by using funds collected through the State Registered 501c(3) Network for Strong Communities (NFSC)  to fund the actions in part of Defend the Atlanta Forest (DTAF), a group classified by the United States Department of Homeland Security as Domestic Violence Extremists.'
