38 states have anti-boycott laws restricting political dissent. Yours may be one of them.

38 have anti-boycott laws on the books right now. 10 more have new bills pending. Three federal courts have ruled these laws unconstitutional. They are still being passed — and expanded. Find your state. Share it.
