The bill is the latest government attack on our civil space to protest and win positive change.
It's intended to outlaw the boycott, divestment, and sanctions campaigning that pressures Israel to halt its illegal attacks on the Palestinian people and their rights.

In condemning this bill, we stand in solidarity with our Palestinian sister organisation @FoePengon and their struggle for justice against Israel's occupation and severe violations of their human and environmental rights.
The bill also creates an environment in which our public bodies will have less power to make investment decisions based on climate justice.
One way our network of community groups pushes public bodies to do this is divesting from fossil fuels.

Fossil fuel divestment is a global movement that has to date led to over $40 trillion being diverted away from climate wrecking industries to greener alternatives.
RT if you think the government should allow public bodies to make their own investment decisions!
