Description

Cop City still remains an ongoing struggle. After the 2023 assassination of forest defender Tortuguita by the Georgia police, environmental and social justice organizers began to campaign hard on the issue. The state responded with a harsh backlash that has resulted in a multitude of charges that includes domestic terrorism and at least 61 people being included on a criminal RICO case.

In our latest, Scott talks with one of the Stop Cop City defendants, Priscilla Grim (@priscillagrim). They discuss the campaign against Cop City, her time in jail and how state persecution has effected her life.
