We talked with Maria Lahood, the Deputy Legal Director at the Center for Constitutional Rights. Maria was one of the attorneys representing the board members of the Olympia Food Co-op. The members were taken to court after the coop endorsed BDS. After a 7 year ordeal, we recently learned that they finally won and the case was dismissed.

With Maria we learned more about the case, what prompted it, who was behind it and why it dragged for 7 years.
