162 | How the Georgia AG is using RICO to Punish Free Speech and Cop City Protesters w/Devin Franklin

Hunter is once again joined by Devin Franklin from the Southern Center for Human Rights to discuss the latest violation of civil liberties in the state of Georgia. In this episode, they are discussing the recent indictment levied against 61 cop city protesters. As you read over the 100+ page indictment, you will find one consistent theme: the Attorney General of Georgia is doing everything in his power to cage as many people as possible who would dare challenge the power, plans, and policy of the state of Georgia.

Guests:

Devin Franklin, Movement Policy Counsel, Southern Center for Human Rights
