By Jacob Levy
On March 28, thousands of Georgians participated in peaceful protests across the state. They marched on public sidewalks and in the streets, places the public has long used to speak freely on issues that matter to them. But under legislation now awaiting Gov. Brian Kemp’s signature, marchers who peacefully protest on roadways could be charged with “high and aggravated” misdemeanors.
