Dear CCR Supporter,
Today, CCR and Palestine Legal
<http://ccrjustice.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1748&qid=1
735877> released a report, "The
<http://ccrjustice.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1749&qid=1
735877> Palestine Exception to Free Speech: A Movement Under Attack in the
US," documenting for the first time the widespread and growing suppression
of Palestinian human rights advocacy in the United States.
As the US movement for Palestinian rights grows, Israel advocacy groups have
intensified their efforts to stifle it. Palestine Legal responded to nearly
300 incidents of suppression between January 2014 and June 2015, each
involving some form of constitutionally-protected activity. Eighty-five
percent of the incidents- including event cancellations, baseless legal
complaints, administrative disciplinary actions, firings, and false
accusations of terrorism and antisemitism-targeted students and scholars on
more than 65 campuses across the country. The report contains testimony from
advocates who have been targeted for their speech and includes an appendix
detailing more than fifty campus-related case studies. It calls on
university administrators, federal and state lawmakers, and other government
officials to safeguard First Amendment rights and defend academic freedom.
Read the report, watch videos featuring students and scholars discussing the
backlash they have experienced, and find other advocacy materials at

Help us raise awareness about the suppression of Palestinian human rights
advocacy by posting about the report on social media (using the hashtag
#PalestineException). Please also share the report and supporting materials
with your friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors.
