Oppose HR 867

The IGO Anti-Boycott Act seeks to expand the scope of the existing Anti-Boycott Act to include international governmental organizations (IGOs), rather than just foreign countries. This legislation would prohibit U.S. entities from participating in boycotts fostered by IGOs, such as the United Nations. The goal is to prevent U.S. entities from being coerced into boycotting certain nations, companies or industries by IGOs. However, there are concerns this could infringe on freedom of speech and association rights. Given the potential civil liberties implications, I urge you to carefully scrutinize this bill and ensure it provides robust protections for constitutional rights before taking any action on it. Preserving fundamental freedoms should be the top priority when considering such measures.
