THREAD: After a year of retaliating against university staff for providing support to Palestinian students grieving Israeli state violence last spring, @GWtweets is effectively shutting down an office that provides services to students experiencing trauma.
palestinelegal.org/news/2022/7/5/…
GW severely curtailed the work of the Office of Advocacy and Support after the office announced trauma support services for Palestinian students. For the past year, OAS has been prohibited from posting to social media or communicating with professors on behalf of students.
As a result of university retaliation and the stifling of their mission to support students, OAS staff have left one by one. The hostile campus environment became too much for our client Nada Elbasha, who resigned as the last remaining OAS employee on June 24.

Today we mourn the extent to which our fundamental rights, our bodily autonomy, and the pluralistic beliefs that characterize this society are being bulldozed by an ideologically driven court.
As a movement lawyering organization, we understand the law as a political tool.
In a country founded upon grave injustices—against African and Indigenous peoples, women and immigrants from around the world—that means our communities are more often harmed than helped by the law and the institutions that uphold it.

Boycotts are a powerful tool for seeking justice, as recognized by the Supreme Court. Today’s decision ignores that history and precedent, treating Arkansas’ anti-BDS law as a restriction on purely commercial conduct that carries no political message. palestinelegal.org/news/2022/6/22…
Today’s decision is an attack on our right to dissent from the status quo. In upholding Arkansas’ anti-BDS law, the court refused to confront the reality that these laws are part of an effort to shield Israel from accountability.
Given the proliferation of anti-boycott laws targeting other social justice movements, this decision sets a dangerous precedent for anyone interested in seeking social, political, or economic change.

@FMEP maintains a great database on these laws:

After retweeting an image of a poster spoofing a historic Palestine tourism ad, @BDSAustria was "SLAPPed" by the city of Vienna with a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation. protecttheprotest.org/story/bds-aust…
BDS continues to advocate for Palestinians because so many BDS groups and others have managed to change policies in their own countries and cities for better. Learn more about the case here: elsc.support/cases/m
Facing increasing repression by the government, these activists are fighting for justice in Palestine in an ever-shrinking civic space. Here is their advice on how to keep going: Continue doing the work, build networks, and seek international support.

Congrats to Virginia advocates for defeating this unconstitutional anti-boycott bill!
Although these bills continue to pop up, not a single one of these laws has been upheld on the merits when challenged. palestinelegal.org/news/2022/2/8/…
See what @AbbyMartin, one of the plaintiffs challenging the Georgia anti-boycott law has to say about its impact:

Palestine Legal staff attorney Zoha Khalili was introduced on stage at @jeopardy earlier this week as a "movement lawyer." Wondering what that means? In the words of @Law4BlackLives, it means "building the power of the people, not the power of the law."
It's the philosophy we adhere to here at Palestine Legal. Here are some of our favorite intros to movement lawyering.
