On the record

• October–December 2024 — The pledge launched October 28 with more than 1,000 signatories; organizers reported more than 7,000 authors and book workers by December 16.

Where Galil stands

Our opinion: Galil opposes the pledge’s institutional boycott. Organizers state that it targets institutions they deem complicit rather than individuals based on identity or national origin.
