Early Wednesday morning, police evicted the occupation outside Troy Davis Park in downtown Atlanta.  Nobody was arrested, but tents were seized by police, and some were destroyed.  The encampment was led and organized by homeless people.  In addition to losing their tent city, some occupiers lost all of their personal belongings.

Last month, city council passed an ordinance targeted against "urban camping", which makes all occupations on city property illegal.  The ordinance was not enforced until Wednesday, which was also when movie trailers and camera crews appeared across the street to shoot Necessary Roughness, a network TV show.

Thousands were gathered in front of the Georgia State capitol building, many holding signs and wearing shirts, all were there for the most infuriating of occasions –   another black male had been senselessly murdered.  Community leaders and politicians vowed that it would never happen again.  The masses chanted repeatedly, “No justice, no peace!”  There was talk about changing laws, about voting, about the necessity of belonging to an organization.  Prayers were prayed and ‘We Shall Overcome’ was sung.  Reaffirmation was given to the “everyday people” in the crowd – Don’t worry, the Big Guys are on the case.  Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Derrick Boazman, Vincent Fort, and other local Atlanta Big Men are speaking out!  Measured warnings about staying focused and seeing things through were given: “We’ve got to get organized, we can’t let this happen again!”  and “Don’t let this be a moment; make it into a movement!”

Welcome to part two of our coverage of the "We Are Georgia" rally held on Saturday, March 17th, 2012. As the Georgia Legislature prepares to pass a wide variety a mean spirited and dubious bills, a coalition of organizations came together to demand law makers instead focus on creating jobs and assist families in hard economic times, not attack them. On the top of the list of radical bills is SB 469, the anti Free Speech, anti Union bill. If passed, events like the one held on the 17th would become criminal offenses. This film brings you all the people who spoke on Saturday, including union organizers and members, an undocumented Georgia student, a young woman fighting home foreclosure, and some of the Georgia law makers fighting these bills on the inside. This film runs 79 minutes.
