Earlier this week I blogged about the Chalking 8 and our plans to highlight the court cases of those arrested, while CopBlocking the Manchester police – like we did during the Free State Friendship Tour. The past few days Pete and I have distributed press releases, ordered 3,000 DVD’s (possibly more – thanks to Freedom’s Phoenix), 2,500 fliers (see pics below), priced out some new swag – coming soon and brainstormed outreach possibilities to help us win in “the court of public opinion.” It’s been a busy week to say the least.

Today we got word from an anonymous donor who wanted to assist our fund raising efforts. The donor stated that a “[We're] ready to match the first $1,000 you receive from other sources.” They went on to say:
“We both feel terrific about supporting your and Pete’s activism. We also look forward to the day when we can contribute not only with dollars, but also by (literally) standing with you on the fronts lines of the fight for liberty. Keep us posted on the fundraising progress and lastly, please do me a solid by staying free.”
Since we just posted about fund raising all donations already given will count towards this number. I’d like to thank the following folks for donating:
$10 – Ryan- $100 – Tony
- $21 – Shaunna
- $50 – Ed
- $20 – Jay
- $5 – Jason
- $20 – John
- $50 – Jim
- $10 – Will
- $75- Chris
Aside from those generous folks, we’ve also teamed up with NeverTakeAPlea.org and FreeKeene.com for donations totaling $550. This means we’ve raised $911 ($361 from individuals) thus far and are only $89 from reaching the donors stipulation.
If you’d like to help us reach this goal please donate here - and click PayPal icon. Remember we like to thank our donors. We offer T-shirts, power post (like the banner below) and video intro/outro’s in return for certain donations on our support tab.
(*the donations listed above are earmarked for the Manchester Chalking 8 use, the anonymous donor’s money will go to further our operation – ie tech or more support items)
Just wanted to echo what Ademo wrote and thank everyone who has helped us further CopBlock.org’s mission.
Clayton stepped-up proactively and has been creating top-notch graphics for us and other liberty-oriented projects.
The good folks behind the Liberty Web Alliance have been assisting us from the beginning, when we were on the road with Motorhome Diaries, Liberty On Tour and now CB. The purpose of the Alliance is to lessen the barrier to entry for activists, so they can focus on what they do (activism) and have a home online for the content they create. Check out the Alliance if you have an idea for a site or want to help them help others. This is a community after all!
Also, much appreciation to everyone who has donated FRNs, ideas, on-the-ground support, and more. Y’all are what very literally keep us going. It’s unfortunate that a site like CB even needs to exist but inspirational to see how its mission has resonated with so many who too have concluded that badges don’t grant extra rights.
Much love!
You should kill yourselfs. The cops should put you all in a cage and pur gasoline down your throats. But since gas is so expensive it would be a waste of money. but like real heroes keep chalking the Police boy are you clowns tough (Losers)
Free staters and everyone else that follow you losers and waste of sperm are all maggots and have nothing to offer society. I hope all your familes all victims of serious crimes. Will the Police be OK to work them. I hope the Police don’t even waste a drop of piss on all of you.
It’s the first time when i’ve seen your site. I can see a lot of hard work has gone in to it. It’s actually great.
