Stop Cop City: March in solidarity with Atlanta protests, Minneapolis, 1/21/23

This week on CounterSpin: If there are ideas, tools or tactics that are part of both this country's horror-filled past, and some people's vision for its dystopic future, they are at work in Cop City. Over-policing, racist policing, paramilitarization, the usurping of public resources, environmental racism, community voicelessness, and efforts to criminalize protest (that's some kinds of protest)—it's all here. Add to that a corporate press corps that, for one thing, disaggregates issues that are intertwined—Black people, for instance, are impacted not only by police brutality, but also by the environment, breathing air and drinking water as they do—and seems intent on pressing a vital, important situation into old, tired and harmful frames.

Kamau Franklin is founder of Community Movement Builders ([link removed]) , the national grassroots organization, and co-host of the podcast Renegade Culture ([link removed]) . We'll hear from him about Cop City and the fight against it.
