ANNOUNCEMENT:
The Right To Boycott, a short film produced by the Freedom2Boycott NYS

Coalition, is now available online! Click here to watch the film on YouTube.

In five minutes, the video sounds the alarm on laws intended to take away Americans’ First

Amendment right to boycott Israel. As masses throughout the US and around the world rally for a

permanent ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the Israeli assault and siege, many are recognizing

boycotts and divestment as some of the most powerful tools available to bring about social

change. But in dozens of US states, legislators have been trying to stand in their way, passing

dangerous laws curtailing free speech.

Anti-boycott laws have already cost people their jobs and contracts. From Texas to Arkansas to

Arizona and beyond, citizens are fighting back. Learn more in The Right to Boycott.

Read what people are saying:

“This short and powerful film makes it clear that support for the right to boycott Israel is a fight for First

Amendment rights vital to all social justice movements, and worthy of their support.”

— Rashid Khalidi, Columbia University, Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies

“A succinct but powerful explanation of why efforts to punish Americans who boycott Israel don’t only

endanger the rights of Palestinians, but the rights of Americans too.”

— Peter Beinart, editor-at- large of Jewish Currents
