TELL THE TEXAS HOUSE & SENATE: ADVANCE THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH ACT HB 1089

Texas House of Representatives Texas State Senate Governor Greg Abott

The term “BDS” refers to the growing Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Modeled after the global South African anti-apartheid movement, the BDS movement’s goal is to pressure the Israeli government to end its occupation of Palestinian territory. In 2019, the Texas legislature passed a law requiring all contractors with the state to sign a clause saying they will not practice BDS during their contract.
After the success of the 2019 HB793, the Texas Legislature again came back in 2021. It passed similar guidelines for state contractors that applied to people and boycotted firearms and ammunition manufacturers and oil and gas companies.

Tell the Texas Legislature enough is enough, and Texans want freedom of speech and the freedom to voice our political opinion back for all Texans. Pass House Bill 1089!
