online – The Right to Boycott: Resisting the Crackdown on BDS (Rescheduled)

January 27, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

The Right to Boycott: Resisting the Crackdown on BDS

RESCHEDULED: Please join us on January 27th, 2023 at 2pm ET/11am PT!

RSVP at:   https://www.codepink.org/01272023

Join CODEPINK and Meera Shah of Palestine Legal for an important and timely call on recent anti-BDS legislation and its impacts on movements for Palestine solidarity, and various forms of divestment.

Since 2014, U.S. legislators have introduced over 200 bills targeting boycotts for Palestinian rights – and the volume of these bills have only increased, with a huge wave of legislative attacks in recent months. What are the latest developments with these anti-boycott laws, and what do they mean? Join us as we explore the impacts these bills are already having on Palestine advocacy work, on other forms of divestment activism, and what we can do in this critical moment.

Meera Shah joined Palestine Legal in 2019. She supports the organization’s casework and public education and oversees the advocacy work on free speech, academic freedom, and the right to boycott.
