DoomsdaysCW<p>From 2024: States Are Restricting Protests and Criminalizing Dissent</p><p>United States of Suppression is a series documenting the recent crackdown on dissent and protests in the U.S. This op-ed discusses what happens when protesting becomes a crime.</p><p>By Elly Page and Alana Greer<br>June 26, 2024</p><p>Excerpt: "Since 2017, 21 states across the country have passed new laws that restrict protests — nearly 50 in total — with dozens more being introduced annually.</p><p>"Most of these new laws increase criminal penalties for conduct, like interfering with traffic, involved in some kinds of protests. Under laws passed in states such as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Arkansas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Arkansas</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Iowa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Iowa</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Tennessee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tennessee</span></a>, protesters can spend up to a year in jail for 'obstructing' public <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/streets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>streets</span></a> or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sidewalks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sidewalks</span></a>, even though these are traditional venues for First Amendment-related activities. After protests against the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KeystoneXL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KeystoneXL</span></a> Pipeline, 14 states dramatically increased penalties for trespassing, which would usually amount to a petty offense, if protesters enter lands with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pipelines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pipelines</span></a> or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pipeline</span></a> construction sites.</p><p>"In many cases, these laws go further than punishing individual protesters to include the people and organizations that support them, putting organizers and community groups at risk. Under a recent law in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oklahoma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Oklahoma</span></a>, an organization that 'conspires' with people to hold a protest can face felony penalties if the protest is deemed to be an 'unlawful assembly' — which state law defines vaguely enough to include a three-person protest that 'disturbs the public peace.'
