The National Lawyers Guild sent the following letter to Rep.-Elect Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) in support of her comments on the right to boycott and Palestine. Her comments came in response to attacks on fellow newly elected Rep.-Elect Ilhan Omar (D-Minn) in support of the BDS movement. The letter also emphasized the importance of working together to defeat attempts to criminalize support for Palestine, especially BDS campaigns.
