Is There a Criminalization of Protests?

There is a big push right now to make the criminal fines and and sentences harsher for people who are caught protesting around critical inte structure. In some states, it can extend to organizations that have helped to plan protest. One state recently passed a critical the structure bill that made it ok to use rico against protester. I've also heard stories about really shady shit, like people calling c p s on land offenders,. And like, child protective services. Wuc: For reasons rooted in long standing racism and colonialism, there's this really intense fear of indigenous protest.
