URGENT: Please Stand With a Military Family Tomorrow Morning
We are asking veterans, immigration advocates, community organizations, and concerned neighbors to join us tomorrow morning in Norcross.
The wife of a U.S. Army soldier who is currently away completing military training has been ordered to report to ICE at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, Wednesday, August 19. Following the denial of her asylum application, we believe she may be taken into custody and face deportation while her husband is away preparing to serve our country.
We only learned about this case today, so we recognize this is extremely short notice. Kozycki Law LLC has taken on her representation, and we are gathering outside the ICE facility at 7:30 a.m. to stand with this military family before her check-in.
WHEN: Wednesday, August 19 at 7:30 a.m.
WHERE: 3300 Holcomb Bridge Road, Suite 110, Norcross, GA 30092
Facility #6DN | Department #5762
Joining:
• Tony Kozycki, U.S. Navy combat veteran, immigration attorney & Democratic nominee for Congress in GA-07
• Mark Peterson, Common Defense Georgia
• Additional elected officials, candidates, veterans, immigration advocates, and community leaders are being invited to join.
If you or members of your organization can be there, please come stand with this family. We would also be grateful if you would forward this to your networks. Given the urgency, every person who can show up tomorrow morning matters.

Flock Protest on Wednesday, August 19th!
Atlanta, Intercontinental Hotel 3315 Peachtree Rd. NE at the annual Flock conference!
Wednesday, August 19th, at 6:00pm during the DeFlock National Week of Action!
The National Week of Action Against ALPRs is from August 16-22. Thousands of people in cities across the country will participate in a variety of public meetings, townhalls, and other events intended to raise awareness about the use of ALPRs (automated license plate readers) in their communities, the harms of these cameras, and how we can work together to end their use.
Flock Safety, who operate AI cameras that conduct billions of automated scans a month across the country, are headquartered here in Atlanta, GA. A creative and dispersed movement has been growing to oppose the use of these cameras. During this National Week of Action we have a unique opportunity to participate and confront Flock where they're based.

DEADLINE TOMORROW! Tell the PSC to protect Georgia ratepayers from "Project Camellia"
Deadline: Friday August 14
From One Hundred Miles:
The staff of the PSC-the state agency that regulates Georgia Power-is reviewing the contract between Georgia Power and OpenAl for "Project Camellia," the proposed data center in Effingham County. PSC staff only have until TOMORROW (Friday) to file an objection so that this entirely redacted contract can be reviewed by the PSC's elected officials and seen by the public before it is approved. Use the simple form on our website to contact the PSC today, so Georgians can have the time, transparency, and accountability we deserve for projects of this massive scale.
