The Stop Cop City campaign saw an evolution in protest and direct action. It brought together movements that spanned issues, political philosophies, strategic approaches and tactics. The state responded with unbridled violence (killing one forest defender) and harsh legal repression (charging 61 others with "domestic terrorism"). It saw coalitions of black led community groups, big environmental groups and anti-authoritarian direct action loosely join together to resist the state.

In our latest, which is a part one of two, Scott talks with Prof. Joseph Brown about the future of protest after the Stop Cop City moment.
