The case for why the World Cup Games must not be held in the U.S. continues to grow. Why? Because there is nothing covert about the agenda of the U.S. state to use these mega events to sanitize and normalize its international lawlessness and domestic systemic violence.
To counter the U.S. agenda, The Black Alliance for Peace North-South Project for People(s)-Centered Human Rights (the Project) is focused on several targeted strategies to address escalating and intensifying U.S. militarization.
The Project is a member and one of the driving forces of the Anti-Fascist Football Coalition, comprised of 26 key international organizations, to implement shared strategies and tactics in two phases to Move the Games from the U.S., and, if not successful, to Boycott the World Cup, and Boycott the U.S.
Defend People(s)-Centered Human Rights!
Our responsibility is to confront this systematic negation of people(s)-centered human rights with positive action. We say NO to normalizing a state that supports genocide, domestic repression and international gangsterism.
And we need your participation to strengthen our united forces!
Here’s how you can get involved right now:
Campaign: Move the Games, Boycott the World Cup, Boycott the U.S.
- Endorse the Campaign: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/no-world-cup-or-olympics-in-us
- View and share media materials to advance the campaign and connect the demands to local conditions.
- Connect with us and engage with the Anti-Fascist Football Coalition to coordinate and implement the campaign’s strategies on the ground in match host cities. Contact solidarity@blackallianceforpeace.com
We understand that this struggle extends beyond FIFA as a legitimizer for the U.S. settler state. Join the Global Network to fight for the advancement of People(s)-Centered Human Rights.
The World Cup must not be used to launder or sanitize state violence, nor normalize the U.S.’s role in genocide and international gangsterism. We must hold state and local authorities accountable and demand they use their power to defend the human rights and safety of the people they claim to represent. Organizations and people of conscience must demand that FIFA move the games out of the U.S. and take a stand for people-centered human rights rather than promote empire, repression, and impunity.
We look forward to our work together.
In solidarity,
