Protect rights to protest and free expression

To: Lt. Gov. Patrick, Rep. Flores, Gov. Abbott, Sen. Eckhardt

From: A verified voter in Austin, TX

September 11

The right to protest and freedom of expression are essential pillars of a democratic society. Many protesters wear masks to avoid respiratory issues during prolonged outdoor events and prevent the spread of illnesses like Covid-19. Blanket bans on mask-wearing would criminalize conduct that protects public health and could discourage peaceful assembly. A democratic society must uphold the rights of all people to make their voices heard through lawful protest while taking sensible precautions against airborne diseases.
