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
