How criminalizing protests stifles climate justice

Anti-protest legislation is backed by oil and natural gas interests and obscures the violence of the fossil fuel industry.

PEN America Urges #Wisconsin Legislators to Reject #AntiProtestBill

PEN America warned that a pending bill could gravely endanger the right to protest. SB 296/AB 279 would define “riot” so broadly that anyone present at a protest where violence occurs, even if they did not participate in such acts, could face felony charges punishable by up to three-and-a-half years imprisonment. It would impose additional misdemeanor penalties for anyone who obstructs traffic during a riot or “incites or urges” groups of people to participate in a riot, with no definition for what constitutes incitement or urging.
