The Senate HELP committee is voting on a bill that would codify silencing dissent into law, Demand it be opposed Dear Email, Tomorrow morning (Wednesday, April 30th), the Senate HELP Committee is voting on the dangerous and misleading "Antisemitism Awareness Act" (S. 558). This bill isn't about fighting antisemitism; it’s about weaponizing it to silence dissent. It would codify a discredited definition of antisemitism that deliberately conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism, criminalizing advocacy for Palestinian rights and chilling free speech on campuses nationwide. Students across the country are already being harassed, suspended, expelled, disappeared, and deported – simply for speaking up for Palestinian human rights. This bill would make it worse. It’s unconstitutional and a direct attack on political dissent. The right to advocate for Palestinian freedom is not antisemitism. Criticizing a government’s actions is not bigotry. Tell your Senators: VOTE NO on S. 558. In solidarity, Americans for Justice in Palestine Action |
