Defending the Right to Protest: The Anti-Boycott Bills and the Role of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)

Common Cause, The Center for Media and Democracy, and Just Vision are co-sponsoring a screening of Just Vision’s award-winning documentary, Boycott, hosted by Greenpeace USA at 1300 I Street NW, Washington, DC. The screening will be followed by an intimate conversation with Julia Bacha, Boycott’s Director and Just Vision’s Creative Director, Alan Leveritt, Boycott protagonist and publisher of The Arkansas Times, and David Armiak, Research Director and Investigative Reporter with the Center for Media and Democracy. The discussion will be moderated by Folabi Olagbaju, Democracy Campaign Director at Greenpeace USA. We hope you join us for this special event to learn more about the anti-boycott laws, ALEC’s role in undermining our ability to organize and voice dissent, and why it’s imperative that we work across issue areas – from Palestinian rights and environmental sustainability to racial justice, LGBTQ rights, immigration, abortion access and beyond.
