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.
