Summary: Oklahoma passed a broadly worded law that enables the state to fine and/or imprison protesters for interfering with the operation of fossil fuel facilities, and also impose heavy fines on organizations deemed to have facilitated the protests.

Action: Support protest movements and demand that the courts and federal government protect our First Amendment rights.
