DSA Pressures Los Angeles City Council to Implement BDS Boycott
What happened
The DSA issued an ultimatum to Nithya Raman, demanding that the City of Los Angeles adopt an anti-Semitic BDS policy by October 31, 2026. This policy requires institutions and businesses to stop buying goods from Israel or from international companies tied to Israeli policies. Raman subsequently adopted this official policy, and the DSA plans to continue pressuring the Los Angeles City Council if the total boycott is not honored.
