Description
In this episode of the solecast I chatted with 4 participants from the Olympia Fracking Blockade, an occupation that shut down the port of Olympia for 2 weeks in November 2018. We take a look back on the occupation in the wake of its raid. In this interview we discuss: The history of shutting down the Olympia Port from anti-war resistance to environmental actions The subtle beauty of occupations and how they serve many purposes The importance of blockades vs symbolic acts The role of music & dance in building a culture of resistance at the blockade How Freedom Of Information Act requests can inform actions Perspective on the decision to not resist the eviction Critical discussion of things that the people I talked to think could have been done better Tons of amazing and informational anecdotes from the blockade For more information visit the Olympia Stand Fedbook & Twitter
