Join organizers from struggles against cop cities and carceral infrastructures in Atlanta, GA, San Pablo, CA, Charlotte, NC, and New York City to learn about what organizers are doing locally and how you can resist a cop city that might be coming to your city. Following the publication of No Cop City, No Cop World: Lessons from the Movement, this workshop will zoom out to share lessons, insights, and challenges from organizers across the U.S., discussing tactical diversity, organization, and repression of movements--and how we can combat it.
