Welcome, to This Is America, November 1st, 2023.

On this episode, we speak with Sam about the recent Block Cop City speaking tour across the US and the upcoming mass actions in Atlanta against the Cop City project from November 10th – 13th.

We also speak with hosts of the Final Straw podcast about the recent Asheville Anarchist Bookfair, organizing anarchist and autonomous events in the current terrain with COVID-19 still a looming threat, how to make gatherings accessible and engaging to as many people as possible, and much more.

Finally, millions of people across the world are taking to the streets in solidarity with Palestine.
