TALLAHASSEE â Civil rights groups are seeking to invalidate a freshly signed Florida law that takes aim at demonstrations that turn violent, arguing in a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday that the new law was racially motivated.
They also said the law has already silenced activists wanting to speak out against police misconduct and other concerns facing their communities.
The suit filed in federal district in Tallahassee on behalf of the groups asserts that residents, particularly Black-led groups, âwho organize and conduct racial justice protests are fearful that their members risk criminal liability merely for speaking out and advocating for change.â
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the so-called âanti-riotâ bill into law last month. He had urged lawmakers to send him legislation that would enhance penalties against violent protesters after last yearâs tumultuous demonstrations over the treatment of Black people by police.

On April 4, 1967 at Riverside Church in New York City, exactly a year before his assassination, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King delivered his renowned speech “Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence.” Famously denouncing U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War abroad and continued racism back home, Rev. Dr. King’s address powerfully unified both conflicts with a call to collective action and reform.
