The protest took place around 5 p.m. Wednesday at the corner of 10th Street and Piedmont Avenue, as an effort to raise additional awareness of the Sept. 10 raid on the Atlanta Eagle club by the Atlanta Police Department.

Eight employees of the bar/club, located on Ponce de Leon, were arrested for license violations. Those arrested included four dancers charged for not having permits to provide adult entertainment.
