💨 Abstract

In Georgia, 61 defendants—including Priscilla Grim, Julia Dupuis, and Hannah Kass—face RICO charges for protesting the construction of a police and firefighter training facility near Atlanta, dubbed "Cop City." Protests escalated after the 2023 fatal shooting of activist Manuel Esteban Paez Terán. The defendants claim they were engaging in legitimate protest, not domestic terrorism.
