Earlier this month, in a groundbreaking move, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo issued an executive order against Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) thereby supporting Israel and protecting the Jewish State from ongoing boycotts in NewYork State.
And New York is not alone. In the last few months, other states including Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Rhode Island and South Carolina have shown greatleadership in addressing this crisis.
Next week, the California Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote onthe California Combating BDS Act of 2016, AB2844. We encourage all activists concerned about BDS - especially those in California, the nation's most populous state - to reach out to the members of the Judiciary Committee, urging them to send a powerful message against theanti-peace, BDS movement.
We will keep you updated with all breaking developments. Thank you for your continued support.
