Join Churches for Middle East Peace and Just Vision for a virtual screening of the film Boycott, with a discussion to follow.
When a news publisher in Arkansas, an attorney in Arizona, and a speech therapist in Texas are told they must choose between their jobs and their political beliefs, they launch legal battles that expose an attack on freedom of speech across 36 states in America.
Boycott traces the impact of state legislation designed to penalize individuals and companies that choose to boycott Israel due to its human rights record. A legal thriller with “accidental plaintiffs” at the center of the story, Boycott is a bracing look at the far-reaching implications of anti-boycott legislation and an inspiring tale of everyday Americans standing up to protect our rights in an age of shifting politics and threats to freedom of speech.
Speakers: Bahia Amawi plaintiff in the BDS lawsuit against the state of Texas, Daniel Nerenberg, Education and Communications Specialist for Just Vision, and Kyle Cristofal, Senior Director of Advocacy and Government Relations/Special Advisor to the Executive Director at Churches for Middle East Peace
