Boycotts are protected speech, but Arizona lawmakers made some boycotts illegal.
The right to dissent — including the right to boycott — is foundational to American democracy.
But since 2016, Arizona has required our state agencies, cities, towns, counties, universities, and colleges tie their contracts with private companies, on our behalf, to a particular political position. That's compelled speech — and it's exactly what the First Amendment forbids.
We're fighting back. Our mission is to reaffirm our constitutional rights before censorship of political dissent spreads—in Arizona and across the country.
States with anti-boycott legislation
Arizona’s laws that condition government contracts, investments, employment or benefit on waiving free speech rights, including those of political boycotts are unconstitutional.
