Eleven months after demanding City Hall's commitment to a human rights platform in the wake of President Donald Trump's sweeping executive orders on immigration, and getting some initial positive response from city officials, the New Orleans Palestinian Solidarity Committee (NOPSC) has drafted its own resolution calling on the city to end business with companies that "may be culpable or complicit" in human rights abuses and war crimes.

The resolution is a renewed effort to get the ideas on the New Orleans City Council's radar following Trump's recent decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, jeopardizing decades of diplomacy and further threatening Palestinians' creation of a Palestinian state. NOPSC also plans to protest the decision at 6:30 p.m.?
