In September 2023, 61 activists from the Defend Atlanta Forest movement, also called "Stop Cop City", were charged with violating the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) law. The Georgia Racketeer Influence Corrupt Organization Act is modeled on the federal RICO Act originally designed to go after criminal organizations, such as the Mafia.

42 people have been charged with domestic terrorism in connection with protests over the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, a cause that has garnered international attention since authorities clearing the protesters' camp in South River Forest fatally shot environmental activist Manuel Esteban Paéz Terán (Tortuguita) in January 2023.

In addition, Adele Maclean, Marlon Scott Kautz and Savannah D. Patterson, staff of Network for Strong Communities that hosts Atlanta Solidarity Fund, were arrested and charged wiht money laundering and charity fraud.
