Watch my statement on HB1 the "Anti-Protest Bill" in the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Subcommittee:
"I took an oath, to support and defend the constitution of the United States which is why I cannot support this bill in its current form. This bill goes too far in its reigning in the freedom of speech and expression, it is too broad by not discerning enough between aggitators and innocent attendees, and it is redundant in that we already have laws on the books to prosecute the bad actors. "
-Rep. Andrew Learned
Unforunately, the committee has 12 Republicans and only 6 Democrats after our losses in November and this bill passed our committee.
We need to flip the odds if we're going to stop these terrible bills and start passing meaningful legislation like propper COVID relief, affordable healthcare, and fully funding our public schools. You can help us stay in the fight and WIN here:
