A pro-Palestinian activist group has been collecting signatures in Pittsburgh for a ballot initiative to restrict the city from doing business with firms tied to Israel .
The first effort was set aside last August after a judge ruled that their petition lacked the required number of valid signatures.
In January of this year , the DSA announced they were once again endorsing the Not on Our Dime campaign.
If the ballot signatures are approved and the referendum goes to the voters in the May primary, there is deep concern it will pass.
Pittsburgh has elected left-wing former DSA members to office recently for state house, council , county executive, and even Congress .
The referendum would be devastating for city finances, cause deep divisions in the community, and call into question whether Pittsburgh is truly stronger than hate.
