The Cop Block Tour kicked-off from Keene, NH in mid-January, 2013 and ended a month and 4,400-miles later at the Liberty Forum in Nashua, NH.
Each of the stops was different based on the individuals present and town size and layout, but included:
- getting acquainted with like-minded folks from the area
- sharing best-practices on how to safeguard ones rights
- delving into ideas on how best to achieve accountability
- brainstorming collaborative efforts to have a positive impact
- Copblocking and outreach to others in the area

For a relatively little bit of coin, a lot ideas and resources were shared and many good folks are now connected, thereby lessening the ability of the fear peddled by those who claim a “legitimate” right to initiate force to take hold.
Future tours may include know your rights trainings, coordinated outreach, in-depth investigations, and more.
Moving-forward, we can work together to proactively create a reality absent institutionalized violence.
The Cop Block Tour helped connect good people in two-dozen stops
