Atlanta Black Cross

Atlanta Black Cross The Atlanta Black Cross is an organization that seeks to support those that are imprisoned and struggling for freedom and liberty on the inside.

In only these past two years, the imprisoned population in the state of GA have organized strikes that have spread to over at least six prisons. They have held hunger strikes in solidarity with each other and some have mounted revolts. We've also witnessed a mounting number of political arrests in just the past two years along with heavily politicized trials and harsher penalties. We've felt the e

ffects and the political influence of private prison companies and the businesses that supply goods and services to government prison and law enforcement agencies. While we continue to struggle for total freedom we are both encouraged and energized in our struggle knowing that there are those facing conditions far worse than ours who continue their fight. With the recent memory of Troy Davis and in defiance of the prisons that still lock away and execute people the Atlanta Black Cross seek to aid in the struggle for prison abolition and for a truly free society.
