Hello,

Florida governor Ron DeSantis, the GOP favorite best known for his abhorrent COVID policies, is pushing anti-protest legislation so heinous that it encourages violence against protestors themselves and provides violent counter-protestors with a legal shield.

DeSantis's proposed legislation would do the following:
+ Allow police broad leeway in arresting protestors if the police claim that the protest has turned violent
+ Allow police to charge those arrested at protests with a third-degree felony, taking away their right to vote
+ Shield counter-protestors who kill or injure protestors from civil liability
+ Let police hold those arrested in jail without the possibility of bail


This is a blatant violation of the First Amendment's rights to freedom of speech and peaceful assembly. DeSantis is trying to stifle dissent and discourage anyone from speaking out against his GOP fascism and far-right extremism.

Fortunately, the ACLU is already on the ground fighting back against this proposed bill, but many Americans are unaware of these attacks on free speech. We can only stop this bill and others like it from becoming law if we make sure Americans are aware of the threats posed. We need 78 engaged Democrats today to take our survey now so we know if Americans are ready to fight back:
Do you approve of Ron DeSantis and his fascist anti-protest bill?
[YES][NO] >> [link removed]
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer our survey! Your responses help us know where Democrats are ready to fight and win.

More soon,
The WDTO Team
