Do not pass H.R. 867
To: Rep. Neguse
From: A constituent in Boulder, CO

The IGO Anti-Boycott Act seeks to expand the existing Anti-Boycott Act of 2018 to include international governmental organizations. This would prohibit U.S. entities from participating in boycotts fostered by these organizations against countries friendly to the U.S. While promoting free trade and discouraging discrimination against allies seems reasonable, concerns exist over potential overreach and unintended consequences that could hinder legitimate boycotts for human rights reasons. Therefore, it warrants careful examination to strike the right balance between economic interests and upholding democratic values. I urge you to thoughtfully consider perspectives from diverse stakeholders, including human rights groups, businesses, and international partners before deciding on this legislation.
