Reject H.R. 867 to protect free speech rights

I strongly urge you to oppose H.R. 867, the IGO Anti-Boycott Act. This bill seeks to amend the Anti-Boycott Act of 2018 to apply its provisions to international governmental organizations, effectively criminalizing boycotts of such organizations. Boycotts are a legitimate form of non-violent protest and a fundamental right of free expression. Extending anti-boycott laws to international bodies would infringe on this essential freedom and set a concerning precedent of curtailing civil liberties. Furthermore, the proposed annual reporting requirement on boycotts raises concerning implications for privacy and the ability to engage in lawful boycotts without government monitoring or retaliation. This bill represents an overreach of government authority into the realm of free speech and peaceful protest. I implore you to protect these Constitutional rights by voting against H.R. 867. Safeguarding civil liberties should be a paramount concern for our elected representatives.
