The construction would result in mass flooding adjacent to Black communities. https://theatlantavoice.com/roberts-cop-city-is-an-environmental-nightmare-and-a-threat-to-black-lives/ https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/3924209-battle-over-atlantas-cop-city-signals-potential-for-more-violent-clashes-between-protesters-police/ https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-the-south/the-new-fight-over-an-old-forest-in-atlanta
