FREE Screening of the Boycott Film in South Orange/Maplewood
RSVP for a FREE screening of the documentary “Boycott.” This screening will be held in South Orange/Maplewood on Thursday, December 5 at 7pm. RSVP at SOMACollectiveforPalestine@gmail.com.
To accompany this Boycott, Sanctions, and Divest action, we’ve put together an Ethical Shopping Guide for your holiday season needs.
Synopsis
Over the past six years, unbeknownst to most Americans, 37 states passed laws intending to silence boycotts and other nonviolent measures aimed at pressuring Israel on its human rights record. These dangerous bills remove the legal protection that has been awarded to boycotts for generations, granting governments the power to condition jobs on political viewpoints.
As this wave of anti-boycott legislation has swept through the country, so has a counter-wave in defense of freedom of speech. Everyday Americans are challenging these laws for their constitutionality in a nation-wide battle likely to go all the way to the Supreme Court.
With full access to the plaintiffs and in revelatory moments with elected officials, Boycott chronicles one of the most consequential First Amendment battles of the past few decades and investigates the question – how did we get here?
THIS WEEK’S CEASEFIRE SUNDAY
Join us every week for “Ceasefire Sunday”
Every Sunday afternoon we gather for a peaceful demonstration calling for an immediate ceasefire in Palestine and Lebanon and an arms embargo on Israel. “Ceasefire Sunday” rallies have been held every Sunday since December 10, 2023 through freezing temperatures, rainstorms, and oppressive heat. We will be out there until this genocide ends. Join us every Sunday at 3pm. Follow @somacollectiveforpalestine for each week’s location.
