Here is our latest podcast episode covering everything that’s happened in the Cop City RICO cases since the Georgia Attorney General issued a sweeping indictment of 61 individuals for their protest against Cop City.

Our guests on this episode are defense attorney Xavier de Janon and organizer/writer/law student Micah Herskind. Together, we walk through nuanced elements of the cases along with some of the basics, and we explore how the state is using conspiracy charges as a tactical advantage to kneecap a movement.
