In 2015, Illinois became the first state to penalize companies for supporting Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel. SB 1761 is a law that restricts the free expression of political conscience by banning state pension funds from investing in businesses that refuse to work with Israel or Israeli-controlled territories. This dangerous precedent threatens advocacy for Palestinian rights.

‼️ We need your voice in Springfield on April 9th to advocate for the Illinois Human Rights Advocacy Protection Act (HB 2723) — a bill that challenges this harmful anti-boycott law. During CIOGC’s Illinois Muslim Action Day, this bill will be at the top of the legislative agenda!

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TIME LISTED IS ONLY A PLACE-HOLDER!
