On April 23, 2026, State of Georgia's Attorney General, Chris Carr, held a sensationalized press conference announcing the indictment of three people arrested at a Stop Cop City protest on May 12, 2022, on bogus arson and criminal damage to property charges. This new indictment follows the three's previous inclusion in the state's failed RICO indictment of 61 Stop Cop City protesters.
On May 4th and 5th, defendants Hannah Kass and Tyler Norman filed for a speedy trial to call the state's bluff on these bogus charges.
Their pretrial hearing is on June 17, and their trial begins on June 22.
This fundraiser is to support defendant Hannah Kass as she fights her case at trial, and against the state's latest attack in a years-long campaign of repression against the Stop Cop City movement.
Going to trial is brave and bold act -- it's also expensive, and a full-time job. Our goal is to raise $10,000 for her living expenses, bills, and legal defense fund for the duration of the trial, as Hannah cannot work during this time and will need to travel to Atlanta as well as house and feed herself, her supporters, and her legal team. We are also hoping to raise money to compensate expert witnesses for their time and travel.
Hannah isn't just fighting for her own freedom -- she is fighting for all of our freedom to protest. Please help support her in her fight for freedom for us all!
In solidarity,
The ATL 61+ Defense Committee
