Tomorrow at noon, protesters are planning a big rally to protest the
disgusting police raid of the Atlanta Eagle.:

-In protest of the violent raid on the 22-year-old Atlanta Eagle bar on September 10, GLBTATL and members of Atlanta’s LGBT community (and supporters) will be gathering in front of Atlanta City Hall on Saturday, September 19, at 12:00 p.m.

No community should live in fear of its protectors in law enforcement, whether in Fort Worth, TX (where a similar raid occurred in June at that city’s “Rainbow Lounge”), Atlanta, or anywhere in America. As Atlantans, as Americans, and as humans, we demand respect, fairness, and common sense from our law enforcement and our government. We recognize that this issue represents a gross violation of the civil rights, and likely violation of United States Constitution-conferred rights, of Atlanta’s citizens. Though as activists we may represent Atlanta’s gay community, these events are a pandemic issue of violation of civil, and basic human, rights.
