BREAKING: You saw the outrageous news last week that a coalition of @BerkeleyLaw School student groups passed bylaws prohibiting "#Zionist" (i.e.

StandWithUs calls on every firm that has donated to, or sponsored an event for, an #antisemitic student group at @BerkeleyLaw to terminate its financial involvement; to conduct a review to ensure that firm resources are not funding #antisemitism at other schools; 6/7
