Iowa

In 2016, Iowa Governor Branstad signed SSB 3087/HSB 583 into law, requiring Iowa to create a blacklist of "businesses and business entities that are publicly traded and not based in the United States" that boycott Israel. The law prohibits Iowa from contracting with or investing in blacklisted entities.

click here for a more in-depth legal analysis of anti-bds legislation.

These bills are the result of a campaign to suppress Palestine human rights activism in the U.S. Israel's interest in restricting this activism should not override our constitutional right to advocate for change. 

The good news is that your right to engage in boycotts related to Israeli human rights abuses and to advocate for BDS is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. None of the bills and resolutions described here prohibit you from engaging in BDS activities.

Whatever your views on Israel and Palestine, these bills should be of concern because they threaten the rights of everyone in the U.S. to take collective action to address injustice. Moreover, we should all be alarmed that a foreign government, Israel, is lobbying U.S. politicians to restrict our rights.
