Dear Ron,

It’s time to fight. And it’s urgent that you act now to stop legislation that is getting voted on tomorrow.

In the midst of a government shutdown, a new bill introduced by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) attacks our right to free speech by giving state and local governments explicit authority to punish supporters of Palestinian human rights who engage in Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions against Israel.

The ACLU called all these laws unconstitutional. They were already overturned by federal courts in Kansas and Arizona, and lawsuits are ongoing in Texas and Arkansas. That’s why Rubio and others who want to stop the growing movement for Palestinian rights are trying to sneak this legislation through the Senate’s first bill of the year.

This is an underhanded move to push through something we’ve powerfully fought back against. It’s time to raise your voice now. Join me and thousands of others across the country and say no to Rubio and yes to fighting for freedom, justice and equality.

Thanks for all that you do,

P.S. Another reason why you should contact your Senators to oppose S.1 is because the bill also authorizes the US to provide $38 billion in weapons to Israel over the next ten years. It’s largely symbolic – President Obama already committed to providing this money in 2016, and Congress appropriates the actual money through the budget every year. However, this bill would further legitimize US complicity in Israel’s violent oppression of the Palestinian people by authorizing the expenditure of these funds.
