AB 88 & SB 94 : Outlawing protected protest

Bill Description

The right to protest is central to the ability to advocate for a world where every person can breathe clean air, drink safe water, and protect the lands we love. AB 88 & SB 94 would create a vague definition of “riot” that could penalize whole groups of people for the actions of a few. AB 88 & SB 94 leave too many questions of legality up to interpretation by police under rapidly changing conditions.
