"BOYCOTI SCMS 2026 FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS, THE SCMS BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS REFUSED TO PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE PALESTINE OR DECRY ANTI-PALESTINIAN RACISM AND THE ISRAELI GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE. INSTEAD, THE SCMS BOARD HAS: 1) IGNORED THE WISHES OF OVER 700 OF ITS MEMBERS TO MAKE A PUBLIC STATEMENT CONDEMNING THE ISRAELI SCHOLASTICIDE AND MEDIACIDE IN PALESTINE 2) ISSUED MASS MESSAGES TO DENY THE PERPETRATION OF RACISM AND HARASSMENT BY A PRO-ISRAEL AGITATOR AT THE 2025 CONFERENCE 3) DISABLED VITAL COMMUNICATION PLATFORMS FOR CAUCUSES AND SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS 4) INSTITUTED AUTHORITARIAN CHANGES TO THE ASSOCIATION'S ANNUAL ELECTION NOMINATION PROCESS WITHOUT RATIONALE OR EXPLANATION SEND A MESSAGE TO THE BOARD. BOYCOTT THE CONFERENCE. Scholars of Cinema and Media Studies in Solidarity with Palestine (SCMSSP, formerly PSWG)"
