* On Monday evening, June 19, the Westchester County Board of Legislators voted 16-1 in favor of the Anti- BDS (Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions) Movement resolution.
. We thank the Board of Legislators for proposing and overwhelmingly passing this resolution and thank their "Committee on Legislation," that voted in favor of bringing it from committee to the full Board of Legislators.

  Kol Hakavod to those who took the time to contact their local legislators.  The legislators who spoke Monday night noted the many calls and emails they each received.  Special thanks to Elliot Forscheimer and the WJC for coordinating these efforts will of our local Jewish advocacy organizations. 

Please feel free to take a moment to thank your legislator   for supporting this resolution.

 

* In a June 15th AIPAC Press Release, they note the following: "The Senate overwhelmingly adopts legislation targeting Iran's dangerous behavior.  AIPAC commends the Senate for overwhelmingly adopting bipartisan legislation in a 98-2 vote that would impose sanctions targeting Iran's ballistic missile program, its destabilizing actions in the Middle East, its human rights abuses, and its conventional weapons trade".
