From Block Cop City:
ORGANIZERS DEFENDING THE ATLANTA FOREST ARE GOING ON TOUR
The speaking tour will provide updates from ground zero, share strategic intelligence on the pivot towards mass action and invite folks to travel to Atlanta in November to #BlockCopCity.
Each presentation will contain a portion on the history of the land the city is attempting to build Cop City on, a history of the movement to Stop Cop City, an outline of the movement's next phase (Block Cop City), and a short workshop to help interested participants form affinity groups and plan next steps. There will also be a Q+A portion.
We expect these presentations and discussions to feed into regional training days organized in hubs across the country, which will give people tools for affinity group organizing and decision-making, tactical and safety training, and the confidence to participate in mass direct action. Aside from bringing people to Atlanta, we hope to spread skills & creativity related to mass direct action and participatory, democratic mass organizing, strengthening the prospects for other, local struggles.
