In 2015, Illinois became the first state to pass an anti-BDS law, a direct result of Netanyahu's $25.5 M dollar effort to activate AIPAC to pass legislation to stop boycotts, sanctions, and divestment in the Israeli government.
As the home state of AIPAC, Illinois has long been ground zero for their influence—but that influence is waning.
Americans on both sides of the aisle are tired of a foreign lobby dictating our policy. AIPAC knows their power is slipping, and they are fighting fiercely to protect this legislation against our repeal effort.
We are on the frontlines of the fight to break AIPAC’s grip on American policy. Your donation today sustains the momentum we need to repeal this unconstitutional law and send a message that Illinois answers to its people, not foreign lobbies.
