On September 5, 2023, the Georgia Attorney General’s office handed down an indictment of 61 Stop Cop City protesters, organizers, and 2020 racial justice advocates. The indictment alleges a conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).

90 organizations have sent a letter to Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr urging his office to drop the RCIO charges against Stop Cop City protesters.

    Laws in GA are a mess because conservatives have had such a heavy influence in their creation. Conservative legislators tend to craft laws to harm vulnerable groups or enemies, whereas normal legislators tend to craft laws to achieve peace and order in some fashion. As such, states with historically conservative legislatures (like Georgia) are notorious for poorly crafted laws. The D.A.'s have to work with what they are given.
