Press release from the Town of North Hempstead: July 22, 2021 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MEDIA CONTACTS: North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth issues statement regarding the Town's stance against the BDS Movement 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 This press release was produced by the Town of North Hempstead.
