Open Letter to Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson:
Thank you for meeting with us to hear our concerns about your co-authorship of AB2844, the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions of Recognized Sovereign Nations or Peoples bill.
This bill mandates the state Attorney General publish a blacklist of businesses, large and small, that choose to boycott Israel because of its illegal occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem — or that choose to boycott any other country that the U.S. recognizes. The bill's ultimate aim is to bar all state and local government entities from entering into contracts with businesses that are on the blacklist.
