The so-called "Anti-Boycott Act" (H.R. 867) is a blatant attack on the constitutional rights to free speech and peaceful protest. It seeks to penalize companies and individuals who boycott for human rights reasons, such as the non-violent Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement opposing Israel's violations of Palestinian rights. This unconstitutional bill undermines core democratic freedoms and principles. It must be firmly opposed and rejected to protect the sacred right to engage in political boycotts as a form of ethical dissent and advocacy for justice. Upholding boycotts as a legitimate nonviolent tactic is essential for defending human rights and promoting positive social change.
