Understanding State Material Support of Terrorism: A Panel on Preparing for State Law Expansion in 2027

Are you concerned by the growing trend of state governments legislating new national security laws? In 2027, Material Support of Terrorism (MST) designation laws are expected to move in several states—replicating the Florida House Bill 1471 terrorism designation law that went into effect in July 2026.

Material support laws authorize state officials to label domestic organizations as terrorist entities, shifting compliance requirements from a strictly federal framework to state actors. Join NLA and TCS as part of our Fortifying the Front Lines series for a discussion on how these vague laws are laying the foundation for weaponized anti-terrorism attacks against social justice organizations—often Muslim-led civil society groups working in support of Palestinian causes—and discuss how our movement is preparing to counter the new state laws in 2027.

*This webinar is open to both funders through our Fortifying the Frontlines series and to the field broadly.
