In September 2023, Georgia's attorney general unveiled a 109-page indictment charging sixty-one people under the state's racketeering statute — treating the entire Stop Cop City movement, from tree-sitters to a bail fund to activists who distributed flyers, as a criminal enterprise dating its "conspiracy" to the George Floyd protests of 2020. The indictment cited zine-writing, mutual aid, camping, and reimbursing protesters for glue and food as overt acts; three of the defendants were the legal-observer and bail-fund organizers already charged in the May raid, and legal scholars across the spectrum called it the broadest criminalization of movement infrastructure ever attempted by a state.

The prosecution moved slowly and roughly: arraignments stretched into 2024, the elected Fulton County district attorney had already stepped aside from the forest cases, and the case's premise — that opposing a police facility is itself racketeering — awaits the appellate courts. For the movement, the RICO 61 completed a trilogy begun with the terrorism arrests and the bail-fund raid: charge the action, then the support structure, then the movement as such. Its defendants remain the era's largest single cohort of American protest prosecutions.
