This zine was added to our catalog more than 5 years ago. You may want to verify information contained within is still relevant.

This is a more recent (2014?) introduction to the topic of blockades. It begins with an introduction to blockades and a consideration of why one might want to utilize a blockade as a tactic, including a brief look at their recent usage.
