Welcome to It Could Happen Here, I'm Garrison Davis.

This is the show where we talk about how everything kind of feels like it's falling apart

and how we can perhaps sometimes put some of that back together.

In about a month's time, there's going to be what's being labeled a quote-unquote

mass non-violent direct action converging on the cop city construction site in Atlanta, Georgia.

Now, a few weeks ago, I interviewed the two people going around the country

giving the block cop city speaking tour in preparation for this upcoming action next month

in Atlanta. Like always, the opinions of those interviewed on the show don't necessarily reflect

the views of the show or myself, and with this action in particular, there has been quite the

variety of opinions regarding its risk level and its ideological and tactical validity.

But the action is going to happen. It is going to take place on November 13th.

No matter, you know, some people disagreeing with aspects of it or having concerns about aspects

of it, it is going to take place. So my interest in putting out this episode is to have a very

open and clear discussion regarding some of the questions people have about this quote-unquote

non-violent action and also provide enough information so that people can make their own

informed decision regarding what's going to happen next November. So with that here is my

conversation with Sam and Jamie from the block cop city speaking tour. Joining me today is Sam

from block cop city and Jamie Peck. Both of you have been going around the country. I think it's

70 cities right now doing a speaking tour to talk about this upcoming action in November to

block cop city. Thanks for coming on, guys. No problem. Thanks for having us.

So I assume anyone who's listening to this is already familiar with cop city, whether through

their own keeping up with the news or even if they're just, even if they just listen to the show,
