The bill undermines the promising reform efforts in Illinois and nationally designed to remedy the harm caused by mass incarceration, and it threatens to silence already marginalized voices. HB 1633 is an unnecessary proposal that creates new draconian penalties for conduct already covered by existing criminal statutes and could have dire unintended consequences, including for youth. HB 1633 is part of a national trend of so-called “critical infrastructure” legislation promoted by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) that is intended to neutralize climate justice activism. We urge you to oppose HB 1633. </p> <p style="clear:both;margin:0px 0px 1.25em"> Critical infrastructure bills disproportionately affect some of the most underrepresented communities, criminalizing their right to protest. These bills target many already marginalized voices, in reaction to some of the most high-profile protests in recent history. Native Americans—women, in particular—are playing an important role as “water protectors” in protests against pipelines; low-income communities of color are most affected by unchecked environmental pollution; family farms have the most to lose by unfair land-grabs for large infrastructure projects. These communities have a right to peacefully resist environmentally unsafe and unjust policies, and unchecked corporate abuse. </p> <p style="clear:both;margin:0px 0px 1.25em"> HB 1633 is purportedly designed to protect critical infrastructure, but the definition of “critical infrastructure” is overly broad and would cover large swaths of the state in urban, suburban, and rural areas, creating the unintended consequence of ensnaring many in Illinois’ already overburdened criminal justice system. For example, someone trespassing in rail yards or on el-tracks without intent to damage or destroy could be charged with a class 4 felony punishable by a fine of $1,000, one to three years imprisonment, or both. Currently, criminal trespass to property is punishable as a Class B or Class A misdemeanor, depending upon the nature of the offense (720 ILCS 5/21-3). </p> <p style="clear:both;margin:0px 0px 1.25em"> Additionally, the bill does not distinguish between criminal damages of one dollar or a million dollars. Each would be eligible for the same penalty of ten years in prison and a $100,000 fine. At a time when many people, including lawmakers, have recognized the deleterious effects that mass incarceration has had on society and have attempted to rectify laws that have criminalized certain conduct or imposed unreasonable penalties, HB 1633, is a giant step backwards. By creating a whole new class of nonviolent offenders who could serve serious prison time, it is antithetical to criminal justice reform. </p> <p style="clear:both;margin:0px 0px 1.25em"> Environmental advocacy, including civil disobedience, does not threaten physical infrastructure or safety, it threatens corporations that put profits and pollution ahead of justice and the environment. Critical infrastructure bills are based on model legislation crafted by corporate interests to establish special protections for some private industries engaged in controversial practices that attract opposition and protest. These bills, including HB 1633, are rooted in animus against environmental justice advocacy because it threatens the profits of these corporations. Whenever states enact legislation based on animus towards particular political speech it has a chilling effect that will be felt widely. </p> <p style="clear:both;margin:0px 0px 1.25em"> We urge you to oppose HB 1633. From a criminal justice reform perspective, this bill is damaging, as it creates new steep penalties for conduct that is already covered under existing criminal law. These new steep penalties and special protections for so-called critical infrastructure are rooted in animus towards anti-pipeline protesters. It is inappropriate for states to seek to legislation in order to penalize individuals for their First Amendment-protected points of view. </p> <p style="clear:both;margin:0px 0px 1.25em"> Please
