Atlanta physicist, artist, and community organizer Michael Czajkowski locked down at a Brasfield & Gorrie site in Midtown Atlanta on the morning of March 7 to demand that the company drop their contract for the construction of ‘Cop City’.

The protest disrupted all construction at the site, and police blocked off the intersection of Peachtree Street and 17th Street for about two hours.

Czajkowski was arrested, charged with two misdemeanors, and released the next day.
