Governor Cuomo Signs Executive Order No. 157


On June 5, Governor Andrew Cuomo issued Executive Order No. 157 directing state entities to divest all public funds supporting the Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions campaign against Israel. 

The first-in-the-nation action will ensure that no state agency or authority engages in or promotes any investment activity that would further the harmful and discriminatory Palestinian-backed Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign in New York State. 

The Governor made the announcement at the Celebrate Israel Parade.
