Faculty for Palestine is one of multiple organizations to endorse the Stand Against Apartheid Lawfare petition. 

The petition is a response by members of the American Studies Association to the last remaining lawsuit targeting the ASA’s BDS resolution.

Among other things, the petition points out that the lawsuit names “further members of the ASA who, we note, are predominantly queer, indigenous/Palestinian, and women of color, despite the fact that those working towards the resolution also included white (and specifically white Jewish) ASA members, and although an overwhelming majority of the ASA membership voted in favor of the resolution.”

Please take the time to review the petition in full and consider signing.
