Overstreet has also made xenophobic comments against Rohit, incl. at a forum last week where she said we don't need someone who will "blow up" city hall. Just yesterday, someone just sent an anonymous email to thousands calling him "dangerous" and a "threat to public safety" with "extreme policies"

Finally, importantly, he’s not part of the establishment! Overstreet is Andre Dickens’ endorsed candidate who has long been pro cop, anti closure of the jail, who has targeted the pre-arrest diversion program, and has generally been awful to advocates.

Fourth, Rohit was VERY vocal about the city’s completely anti-democratic shut down of the cop city referendum and fought hard against alllll of the voter suppression that was happening. I want a fighter like him. On the other hand, Overstreet gladly endorsed voter suppression.

Third, check out his platform! Well thought out and intentional about meeting Atlanta community members’ needs. I believe he will be accountable to a broad swath of Atlantans that have long been neglected and ignored. rohitforatlanta.com/policy-platf...

Second, he has an amazing vision for the council president role. It’s traditionally thought of as just a ceremonial role, and our city council has been QUITE deferential to the mayor. But Rohit speaks of the president as a true check on the executive — a role I want to see!!

First, Rohit brings an amazing combination of wonky knowledge (has been doing local political work for a LONG time, including with the Center for Civic Innovation) and deep passion for a better, more equal Atlanta. Highly qualified and understands the city code better than most.

This case has *always* been weak in EVERY way: technically AND substantively. There's no evidence. There's no procedure. Due process violations left and right. Discovery failures. A complete and total unmitigated disaster of a case, and today reiterates that.

As always, you can support the legal defense and the living/travel expenses of those facing this political prosecution here: weelauneethefree.org/support-the-...

None of this changes the entire point of the indictment: to ruin 61 people's lives over their opposition to Cop City, and to intimidate countless others from opposing the state. In that regard, they have already done untold harm to the defendants' lives.

Importantly, the dismissal comes on a relatively technical issue: that the Attorney General did not have the jurisdiction nor did he take the required steps to bring this case. This is NOT a substantive ruling, and like I said, it will be appealed.

But a huge deal nonetheless.
