In a piece titled Outrageous Anti-Protest Laws Can’t Silence the Climate Movement: But Will U.S. Protesters Face Even Greater Peril in 2025?, Stan Cox writes that since 2016, 21 states have passed a total of 56 laws criminalizing protest or dramatically increased the penalties for acts of resistance and civil disobedience. He notes that all the states adopting such anti-protest laws had Republican-majority legislatures. In light of these laws, and a return of a Trump presidency imminent, host Allen Ruff speaks with Cox about the threat to free speech.
Stan Cox is a senior scientist at the Land Institute at Salinas, KN, a research organization working to develop alternatives to current destructive agricultural practices. He is the author of The Path to a Livable Future: A New Politics to Fight Climate Change, Racism, and the Next Pandemic, The Green New Deal and Beyond: Ending the Climate Emergency While We Still Can, and the current In Real Time climate series at City Lights Books.
