Protesters gathered at the state capitol this Wednesday morning to challenge state bills that they believe will limit free speech.The group Mississippians 4 Palestine rallied supporters to fight against House Bill 768 and Senate Bill 2226, which would re-authorize the Israel Support Act of 2019.These bills would require the executive director of the Department of Finance and Administration to create a list of companies that are engaged in a boycott against Israel.This list would be posted for the public to see on their website and these companies would not be allowed to receive any investments from the public employees' retirement system and the state treasurer.Blake Feldman, co-founder of Mississippians 4 Palestine, shared why it is important to protest bills like this."People who practice free speech that are critical of Israel or supportive of Palestine makes it especially egregious to us, and we're just here today to exercise free speech to protect free speech," said Feldman.If these bills are passed, they will take effect on July 1.
