They are trying to make solidarity a crime

Friends,

Tomorrow, the House votes on H.R. 867 — the “IGO Anti-Boycott Act” — a bill that would punish Americans with up to 20 years in prison or $1 million in fines for joining international calls to boycott Israel and its illegal settlements.

Let me say that again: our government is about to criminalize one of the most powerful nonviolent tools ordinary people have ever had — the right to boycott.

Why do we boycott?

Because it works. Because when politicians refuse to act, people must.

A boycott is economic pressure. It is refusing to spend, invest, or engage with institutions that uphold injustice. 

It is democracy without permission. A mass refusal to fund our own oppression. 

It speaks a language the powerful understand: profit, withdrawal, resistance.

Boycotts were how we ended segregation on buses in Montgomery. It’s how the world helped dismantle apartheid in South Africa. 

And it’s how people across the globe are now demanding justice in Gaza.

And now, Congress — Democrats and Republicans alike — wants to strip that power from our hands.

This bill doesn’t protect democracy. It protects genocide. It protects apartheid.

It protects a foreign government at the expense of our Constitution, our rights, and our collective moral will.

The truth is, Zionist interests have corrupted both parties wholesale.

They’ve buried opposition under bogus definitions of antisemitism, they’ve muzzled dissent with campaign cash, and they’ve turned the Democratic Party into a PR firm for occupation.

Meanwhile, they keep your eyes on Russia and China while your own civil liberties vanish.

That’s why I’m running with the Green Party — the only party in this country not owned by weapons manufacturers, fossil fuel giants, or foreign lobbies. 

The only party that still believes protest is patriotic.

And when I’m Governor of California, I’ll make sure the right to protest, boycott, and assemble remains untouched — not just defended, but upheld as sacred.

If you believe boycotts are not a crime but a cry for justice — chip in now. They may try to outlaw solidarity, but they cannot stop what we are building.

Peace and Power,

Butch Ware
