Thursday, March 2:
What’s Next for the Right to Boycott in America?
A conversation marking the online premiere of Boycott
12 noon Central Time

The Supreme Court recently announced it will not hear the case of Alan Leveritt, publisher of the Arkansas Times, who challenged the constitutionality of Arkansas’ anti-BDS law. This is not a ruling on the merits of the case, so what does it mean for the right to boycott and where do we go from here?

Join Just Vision, the Institute for Middle East Understanding and Jewish Currents for a timely conversation on what’s next as they mark the worldwide online release of Just Vision’s award-winning documentary, Boycott.
