Mark Spencer updates us on the struggle to stop the Atlanta Police Foundation building the largest police training facility in the US in Weelaunee Forest, Atlanta. He also explains why ‘health’ is a useful lens by which to understand the overlapping processes of racial capitalism, ecological destruction and the expanding carceral state in Atlanta and elsewhere.

Mark Spencer has a MD from Georgetown University School of Medicine and a BS in Neuroscience from Johns Hopkins University. He works as an Internal Medicine Resident physician at multiple hospitals across Atlanta. He is part of a coalition that builds support among healthcare workers for community based movements like Atlanta's Communities over Cages campaign to close the Atlanta Detention Center and also Stop Cop City.
