Today, Palestine Legal and the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) sent copies of their report, “The Palestine Exception to Free Speech: A Movement Under Attack in the US,” to one hundred lawmakers in five states currently considering legislation aimed at punishing, suppressing, and chilling Palestinian human rights advocacy, including through the creation of McCarthyist blacklists of companies, organizations, and in some cases, individuals, who advocate for Palestinian rights. The report, which documents a pattern of suppression that targets protected speech in favor of Palestinian rights, is available online here.

Palestine Legal continues to track anti-BDS legislation across the country. We regularly update legal resources and action items at www.RightToBoycott.org.
