Governor Hochul is pushing forward a plan to create buffer zones of up to 25 feet around houses of worship and healthcare facilities where protest would be banned. The proposed bill will restrict New Yorkers’ right to assembly and free speech at exactly the same time that the federal government is waging war on our cities, particularly targeting protestors and legal observers.
