UU Justice NC's Friday Action Hour, Friday May 10th at 11:00am - Legislative Briefing on HB 942 - the “SHALOM” Act with our partners at Carolina Jews for Justice. HB 942 is a bill quickly moving through the state legislature that would criminalize speaking out against Israeli policies and military conduct, using a highly contested and problematic definition of antisemitism adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). This Friday, Abby Lublin, Executive Director of Carolina Jews for Justice will help us unpack this bill and explain why it attacks free speech (the ACLU agrees!) and does not make the Jewish community safer. Join via this Zoom link.
