Free Speech Coalition Campaign to Repeal the anti-boycott laws

The Free Speech Coalition is a group of organizations and individuals committed to the international, Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

At present, we are working with over 35 organizations aiming to repeal laws in Minnesota that are specifically meant to squelch boycotts of Israel and Israeli companies. These anti-boycott laws are a template for future laws to restrict boycotts of big agriculture, mining and lumber interests. Bills in both the MN House and Senate have been introduced to REPEAL these anti-boycott laws in the 2026 legislative session. BOYCOTT IS FREE SPEECH!

We are organizing constituents across the state to contact their legislators to insist they vote YES on the repeal bills and protect our constitutionally protected right to boycott.

If you are part of an organization that would consider joining this coalition, let us know!

Organizations in the Free Speech Coalition and their shared statement

Divest for Justice in Palestine!

We are Palestinians, Americans, Jews, Christians, Muslims, students, professionals, parents, community members and allies working together to bring Palestine-centric education to Minnesota in order to promote justice and human rights.

We believe:

We, the people of Minnesota, have the moral obligation to make sound investments that will not aid the oppression of any one race, creed or people. Minnesota’s investment in Israel supports an apartheid system in both Israel and the Occupied Territories that causes thousands of civilian deaths, many of whom are children, and which involves the widespread abuse of human rights. This system defies a ruling by the International Court of Justice as well as more than 65 UN Resolutions, and violates the Fourth Geneva Convention. We demand that the state of Minnesota act on its good conscience and support the breaking of economic ties with the apartheid state of Israel.

We say, Minnesota divest from Israel Bonds, Divest for Justice in Palestine!
