North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth issues statement regarding the Town’s stance against the BDS Movementt

North Hempstead, NY – “The Town of North Hempstead is united in its unequivocal stance against the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement. The Town Board unanimously passed Anti-BDS Legislation in 2017, which prohibits the Town from working with companies and contractors that are participating in the BDS movement, such as Ben & Jerry’s. It is incumbent upon all of us to join together in solidarity and resilience against intolerance and bigotry. North Hempstead’s Anti-BDS legislation ensures that taxpayer money is never used to do business with or support any company that engages in a boycott of Israel. North Hempstead is a community of unity and inclusion. We remain committed in the fight against intolerance, and we are unwavering in our condemnation of this BDS movement” – Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth
