In a tiny rural courthouse, the constitutional right to protest is under attack by Energy Transfer in a way that hurts the entire nation. This is a deeply un-American trial.
The First Amendment guarantees of free speech is under perhaps the threat of its historic existence, between this suit against the environmental protection organizations, and indigenous peoples, on the one hand, and the playbook being used against campus protests, in places such as Colombia, and the Title VI attacks aimed at curtailing free speech in all Universities receiving federal funding, the stakes could not be any higher. Even the slogan, "may justice prevail," is likely to step over the draconian line being drawn by TPTB, at this very moment.
Thank you, Steven, for your dedicated work and relentless fight for justice. I’m so sorry you didn’t receive the pardon you deserved. We need your voice now more than ever.
