But importantly, these tactics are just one part of the story of the decentralized movement fighting to stop Cop City. While many have engaged at local jails, courthouses, and City Hall, others have grown the movement and secured wins through tactics that are decidedly opposed to engaging the system on its own terms.

Outside the forest, activists have posted fliers in the neighborhoods of the police who murdered the forest defender known as Tortuguita, vandalized the buildings of banks and corporations that are backing Cop City, burned and destroyed police vehicles and surveillance cameras, and applied pressure to executives of key project contractors through home visits and protests. Networks of activists and organizations have made mutual aid central to the movement, recognizing that community support and the infrastructure to sustain it are critical for any successful movement.

These efforts have drastically delayed the project’s timeline, raised its costs, and forced key contractors to pull out, as part of the broader strategy to target any and everyone involved with advancing Cop City [...] no one tactic represents a silver bullet or incorruptible method; no single tactic can build the new world we need. [...] While mainstream media and elected officials attempt to pit militant direct action and property damage against “acceptable” forms of dissent, the Stop Cop City movement has shown how they can be symbiotic.
