Thank you for subscribing to CopBlock.org’s Weekly Newsletter! The is the very first newsletter, and as with anything worthwhile, we’ll strive to make it a better resource. If you have suggestions on how to make that happen, please let us know: Newsletter@CopBlock.org
In each Newsletter a person or crew who has effectively advanced the fact that Badges Don’t Grant Extra Rights will be highlighted. This week, much love goes to our friends at Liberty Web Alliance (LWA), who for years have expertly addressed CopBlock.org’s behind the scenes IT needs. This month was our most-trafficked yet, with 350,000+ visits and 500,000+ page views. To accommodate the continued growth, the LWA team transitioned the site to a dedicated, enterprise-level server with 64GB of memory. If you appreciate our presence online and have the interest and means, donate directly to LWA using PayPal, credit card, or Bitcoin via LibertyWebAlliance.com/
We recently received our latest outreach flyer – a 3″ x 5″ information-filled beauty. You can get a stack of 100 from CopBlock.org/Store. Use the coupon code “100freeshipping” (shared only with you and others who receive this Newsletter) and you will pay zero for shipping. View/print them from CopBlock.org/Flyers.
Do you have a smartphone? When doing outreach that is one of the most-frequent questions I pose to those who stop and engage. While most respond in the affirmative, less than half are aware of streaming apps, and their potential. If you don’t yet have a streaming app like Bambuser on your phone, visit CopBlock.org/Apps and make it happen – it’s much better to be prepared and never need such a tool, than to be caught in a situation where it’s just your word against that of a police employee.
CopBlock.org/Music chronicles musicians who proactively used the form at CopBlock.org/Submit to share their message with readers of the site. Though spanning many genres and hailing from different locations, the tunes included on that page share at least one commonality – the recognition, and advocacy to others, that badges don’t grant extra rights. Also, it can net bands who submit content some outreach lit, Cop Block gear, or other items for use at their shows.
Lastly, we’d like to direct your attention to CopBlock.org/KnowYourRights (which houses information on how to effectively stand up for your rights); to http://CopBlock.org/FilmThePolice (so you can better protect yourself and others in your community) and to http://CopBlock.org/Groups (you are the network).
We appreciate your efforts to erode legitimacy granted to the bad idea that some people have more rights than others.
