Email UC Berkeley Student Body President to Veto Anti-Israel Bill!
FROM RABBI MENACHEM CREDITOR - PLEASE SUPPORT HIS SACRED WORK ON THIS ISSUE.
-Rabbi Allen
Early this morning the Associated Students (ASUC) at UC Berkeley passed SB160 calling on the ASUC and the UC Regents to divest from three companies doing business with Israel.
The President of the UC Berkeley Student Body has until Wed., April 24 to veto this one-sided and harmful bill.
What can YOU do?
Email President Connor Landgraf TODAY calling on him to veto the bill. We only have a small window of opportunity to urge him to veto the bill, so now is the time to act and spread the word - we cannot be complacent!
Here's how you can make your voice heard:
