SB 707 disruption policy

Said the policy adds punishment for First Amendment speech, cited the IHRA-definition protest as the only disruption with no threats, and urged the council to go back to the drawing board.

Urged rejection, invoking MLK on civil disobedience and arguing signs that don't obstruct are protected speech, not disruption.

Said history vindicates the disruptor, warned the policy could be used to punish dissent, and criticized social media characterizations of protests as riots.

Supported the regulations and suggested explicitly muting microphones of speakers who exceed their time.
