A Quick Summary

Around 6:30, between 30 and 40 people gathered at Freedom Park to attend the "Anticapitalist March." After a few words from some participants, masks were offered to those in the crowd and the group began their way up Moreland Avenue toward Little 5 Points. This route was the preferred marching path for several years up until 2012.

RECLAIM!

Yesterday, on the 1st of March 2014,

we celebrated a 'Really Really Free Market' on 195 Flat Shoals Ave. in Reynoldstown.
This was the 1st and therefore opening event of a future Free Store at the location.

We made use of an unused building and we are happy to state that it has been a tremendous success.

A lot of people from the community got together, talked, shared, had a good time and we all have been amazed by the general display of solidarity. With no money involved many things were taken by people and will therefore be reused while others brought in all kinds of beautiful stuff that they did not need anymore!

If we can pull our resources together we'll hopefully be able to do this several times a week in the foreseeable future.

FOR NOW there is already a set date for the next 'Really, Really Free Market' at 195 Flat Shoals Ave.:

Over the past week, we glued the coin and card slots of 54 parking meters along Edgewood, Auburn, Jessie Hill, Ponce de Leon, and DeKalb Ave.

Additionally, some 7 meters were partially glued shut. Because of carelessness or mechanicle error, some meters had the coin slots glued shut but the credit-card slots left open, or vice versa. We found if we did not hold the glue in place with a piece of scrap metal, it had the potential of running down the machine before drying.

Lastly, five electronic ParkAtlanta pay-machines were glued shut which, we hoped, would free up parking for 35 additional spaces. We have since found out that customers can pay for any parking spot within an area at any of these machines nearby. Those who endeavor to disable these machines in the future should work with this knowledge: you have to destroy all of the machines on a strip in order for the payment process to be frozen.

Attention! Two Anons Arrested at Atlanta Million Mask March!

Around 50 people assembled at Centennial Park this morning to join the Million Mask March-Atlanta. Though the numbers were a far cry from the 300+ attendees on the Facebook page, some courageous ones decided to march together and pass out leaflets to spread our message. The demonstration enjoyed the cheers of passersby and made a presence in a large section of the downtown area.

After briefly regrouping to march to the Booz Allen Hamilton Atlanta office - the local chapter of the tech consultation group contracted by the NSA and former employer of brave leaker/whistleblower Edward Snowden - the demonstration was quickly flanked by more than a dozen Atlanta Police squad cars. The police made a short, inaudible announcement and abruptly snatched up two Anons from the crowd and forced them into their cruisers, allegedly for wearing masks.
