The Coalition to Stop AB 2844, comprising more than 100 national, state and local organizations, including civil liberties, human rights, faith-based and community groups, calls on California Governor Jerry Brown to veto Assembly Bill 2844, which passed the state Assembly on Tuesday after passing the Senate last week. AB 2844 is both an attack on the constitutional rights of Californians and a waste of taxpayer money, estimated to cost upwards of $140 million annually, according to the California Department of Finance, which opposes it.

Dear Friends,

On Tuesday, I traveled to Philadelphia, where the Democratic National Convention is underway, to join Yousef Munayyer (US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation), Gerardo Reyes Chavez (Coalition of Immokalee Workers), and Caroline Hunter (anti-Apartheid activist and co-founder of the Polaroid boycott) on a panel discussion on the right to boycott, hosted and moderated by Rebecca Vilkomerson (Jewish Voice for Peace).
