Josue Rivas / NDN Collective fileGet breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.Nick Tilsen, a citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation, attended his first protest before he was even 5 years old.
Passed in preparation for the construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, the bill is “a legislative solution to ensure the safety and efficiency of pipeline construction in South Dakota,” according to a statement issued by Noem.issued a new presidential permitTilsen finds the new law troubling. “They’re basically criminalizing anybody who is standing up for their rights and putting their voice out there — and those who support us,” he said.
“The response of the government to protest ought to be engaging on the issue, listening to the concerns of the people that are speaking out, and trying to respect and work with them — not stifle First Amendment rights,” Eidelman said.Under the law, if an organization were to encourage people to attend a protest via social media and a fight then broke out there, that organization could now be held civilly liable, Eidelman explained.
“That uncertainty, especially in combination with the law of civil liability, is more likely than not to discourage people from organizing and protesting in the first place,” she said.
