Louisiana introduced legislation in March that if enacted into law could penalize people for protest, even those never even setting foot on the sites of protest. Even simply discussing a possible trespass action would result in prison sentences of FIVE YEARS and fines up to $10,000. Other acts of civil disobedience such as any damage to infrastructure would be 15 years in jail. These types of anti-protest bills started in Oklahoma in the U.S. are are spreading rapidly. The source for the legislation is the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a corporate-funded lobbyist group and arm of the oligarchs. Thank you America, let's keep kissing our liberty and freedom goodbye as we're squeezed under the corporate thumb of compliance.
