Free speech is safer in Georgia, thanks to veteran Jeff Gray.
FIRE secured a win for Jeff and free speech in Alpharetta, Georgia, after officers arrested veteran Jeff Gray for holding a sign supporting homeless vets! Now the town must educate its police officers on the First Amendment, avoid punishing people for demonstrating or panhandling, and pay a $55k settlement.
The police need free speech education, and that’s just what they’re getting.
Safe to say, Alpharetta is learning an important lesson: It’s easier to defend speech than to censor it. FIRE looks forward to seeing free expression flourish in Alpharetta, now that the court upheld residents’ rights to free speech!
