The governor’s bill would criminalize unpermitted street protesting and other actions that block highways and access to public places.
Around 100 people rallied the Alaska Capitol to call for a ceasefire in Gaza on Monday, March 19, 2024.
“We have a right to protest, and he’s trying to take that away,” they said. “This bill is wrong, it shouldn’t exist and that’s why we say, ‘Respect the right to protest! Respect the right to protest!’” On Monday night, the ralliers chanted for lawmakers to take action against the bill’s passing — and to publicly call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
