TAKE ACTION

On Tuesday (1/29/19), the Senate passed S 1, a bill that included provisions
criminalizing our right to boycott
<https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/rights-protesters/congress-trying-use
-spending-bill-criminalize-boycotts-israel-and> , which were put in the bill
to try to stop the boycott movement against Israel's apartheid and human
rights abuses.

You can thank California's Senators Feinstein
<https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/contact>  and Harris
<https://www.harris.senate.gov/contact>  for voting against S 1. Tell them
you want our right to boycott protected and that you also object to the $38
billion in aid for Israel that was included in S 1.

Now we need to contact our representatives in the House and ask them to
voice their opposition to S 1's companion bill HR 336
<https://israelpalestinenews.org/mccaul-introduces-house-bill-to-give-israel
-billions-of-dollars-combat-bds/>  or any bill that would take away our
right to boycott and to the $38 billion in aid for Israel that is included
in HR 336.

Call or email your representative  <https://matsui.house.gov/contact>
Matsui,  <https://bera.house.gov/connect-with-me/email-ami> Bera,
<https://garamendi.house.gov/contact/email> Garamendi, McNearny
