2013 Cop Block Tour - major focus in OH from Feb 9th to Feb 16th

[Keith and stuff]

This Tour is happening all over the Northeast, Southeast and Midwest. However, more of the Tour is in Ohio than any other state so I also posted about the Tour here, in the Ohio sub-forum.

The Cop Block Tour is happening right now. It started on January 18th in Keene, New Hampshire and ends on February 21st in Nashua, New Hampshire at the 2013 Liberty Forum where Pete Eyre of Cop Block will be speaking. The Tour goes through the Northeast, Midwest and Southeast.

Here is the run down.

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

The ideal location will have parking nearby and be a place where a small group can meet and chat.
