Register: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_JEaJubfWTBy13Dyi1NwXbA

Details: Tuesday Jul 6, 2021 12:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada) - If you posted #SaveSheikhJarrah on your Instagram post, tried to send funds with the label “Palestinian Relief” on Venmo, or have committed to the BDS (boycott, divestment, sanctions) movement and tried to get a government contract, you may have encountered ways in which pro-Palestine voices are limited in both online and offline spaces.

Nadim Nashif, from 7amleh, the Arab Center for Social Media Advancement, will discuss their report on attacks on Palestinean Digital Rights. Radhika Sainath, from Palestine Legal, will focus on intersections between pro-Palestine advocacy and the First Amendment, such as lawsuits against anti-BDS laws, and Diala Shamas from the Center for Constitutional Rights will discuss how the First Amendment might interact with financial sanctions and claims of material support for terrorism.
Speakers:
- Radhika Sainath
- Diala Shamas
