In recent years, the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement - more commonly known as BDS - has been employed as a hateful weapon to delegitimize Israel and all those who stand with her.

This important legislation empowers community leaders and individuals who seek to counter the hateful targeting and delegitimization of Israel.

Together, we are sending an unquestionable message about our steadfast opposition to BDS and strong support for those who stand up for Israel. Learn more about the bill.
