The Tour goes through the Northeast, Midwest and Southeast.

Kicking-off from Keene, NH in mid-January and ending a month and almost 4,000-miles later at the Liberty Forum in Nashua, NH, the Cop Block Tour seeks to facilitate local, on-the-ground connections, brainstorming and the sharing ideas and tactics, and collaboration, to grow and make more effective efforts for police accountability.

Each of the stops is sure to be different based on the individuals present and town size and layout, but will likely include:

getting acquainted with like-minded folks from your area
sharing best-practices on how to safeguard ones rights
delving into ideas on how best to achieve accountability
brainstorming future efforts to have a positive impact
Copblocking and outreach to others in the area

Future tours may include know your rights trainings, coordinated outreach, in-depth investigations, and more.


How You Can Help The Cop Block Tour

cb-propaganda-contest-whoownsyou-212x265If you live in one of the cities that does not yet have a meetup location and time listed, feel free to suggest one by either weighing-in on the related Facebook Event (https://www.facebook.com/CopBlock/events) or by emailing pete@copblock.org. The ideal location will have parking nearby and be a place where a small group can meet and chat. Past locations have included restaurants, meeting rooms, colleges, etc. Bonus points if the location is in an area or near to an area where Copblocking (http://copblock.org/copblocking101) or outreach can occur, if folks present area interested.
Put an posting on the most-relevant areas of the Craigslist pages where tour stops are to happen. Even a sentence trying to reach those interested in police accountability, or text copied/pasted from this page, will work great. Just be sure to include a link to this page or to the event for the stop in the specific city. Feel free to attach any graphics on this, or any other page at CopBlock.org, including CopBlock.org/Graphics (http://copblock.org/graphics).
Put this page http://CopBlock.org/Tour on the radar of those in your sphere.
Encourage friends in cities where the tour is to stop to join the meetup (https://www.facebook.com/CopBlock/events). The more good people who connect the better!
Recommend stories that should be covered as the tour rolls into each area either weighing-in on the related Facebook Event or by emailing pete@copblock.org
Donate to help cover tour-related expenses CopBlock.org/Donate (http://CopBlock.org/Donate) Getting this tour funded will be a good indicator that such a tactic can be replicated in the future on an even more-robust scale.
Share your feedback or ideas on how this tour can have a bigger impact by emailing pete@copblock.org

Since he is 1 of our own, I'm not going to post the blog post or all of the great videos here. Please visit his post. I'll post a couple of the photos, though.

Here is Pete's most recent blog about the Cop Block Tour. He is currently in IN but the blog details stuff that happened in NC, so it is a little behind.

Winston – Cold Out, but Warm Convos Had, #copblocktour

On Friday, Jan. 25th, I left Richmond and made my way southwest toward Winston as part of The Cop Block Tour.

Almost immediately upon entering the arbitrary political boundary of North Carolina I encountered snow and later, ice. As I didn’t want my Tahoe to be among the many vehicles seen off the road, the last 30miles of the drive were done in four-wheel-drive-high.

I wasn’t expecting a big turn-out at the Winston meetup, yet that didn’t mean a lack of interactions with Winston police employees – though all were civil and actually pretty productive.

Read the rest and watch the many videos. http://www.copblock.org/26935/cop-block-tour-winston-cold-out-but-pretty-warm-convos-had/


BTW, the day after the Cop Block Tour, Pete Erye will speak at the Liberty Forum. He is listed on the official schedule (http://freestateproject.org/libertyforum).

I would venture he's a Vet. Columbia, SC needs to be on the list since the Gov had protesters illegally arrested not too long ago plus USC (the other one) is there.

I don't know if Pete was in the military or not. As for SC, the map doesn't show him going to SC and he is already in OH so I guess that isn't happening. You might want to mention it to him. Maybe in the future he can do that?

A bunch more blog posts by Pete are up. They cover events in Charlotte (http://www.copblock.org/27007/connecting-with-charlotte-cop-block-and-friends/), NC, Asheville (http://www.copblock.org/27040/asheville-recap/), NC, 2 cities (http://www.copblock.org/27167/tennessee-tour-stop/) in TN, and Paragould (http://www.copblock.org/27252/the-cop-block-tour-descends-on-paragould-ar/), AR. There's a round a dozen videos just from Pete's time in Paragould alone. Quite interesting.

Tomorrow is the big day. It's the big end to the Cop Block Tour.

I hope you were able to join up with the Tour at some point. If not, you still have a chance on Friday.

Don't know what Cop Block is? Check out the website or Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/CopBlock

Here is a recent post from Pete on the Cop Block Facebook page.


Over 1,000,000 individuals last week were exposed to content from Cop Block's Facebook profile. Nice work y'all!

Individuals act and are responsible for their actions irregardless of where they happen to work. The more others are introduced to that fact the better off we'll all be.

peaceful coexistence > institutionalized violence
