Protect the Fans from ICE and Trump

The World Cup kick-off is finally here. This is our moment, our celebration, Our Copa.    For the next few weeks, we’ll be cheering for every goal our teams score, celebrating with the people that matter the most to us, and feeling the powerful way futbol has always brought us together.    This historic moment belongs to the people– the fans, the workers, the communities who have built this sport from the ground up and make fútbol the beautiful game that it is. It’s a time to celebrate and reclaim this moment for our gente wherever we are: in the stands, at our local watch parties, or in our living rooms surrounded by our family and compas.    If you’re ready to join this celebration, there’s a place for you. Whether you’re an organizer, an artist, a creator, a fan, or someone who simply loves the beautiful game, there’s a place for you in Our Copa.   Here’s some ways you can connect:

Sign the Petition: Protect the Fans   We’re calling for an immediate moratorium on ICE enforcement during the tournament and the lifting of travel bans that prevent fans from Haiti, Iran, Côte d’Ivoire, and Senegal from sharing in this historic moment.    Join the hundreds of compas who have already added their voice to demand that every fan–where we live, where we work and where we watch– is safe to celebrate the beautiful game.  PROTECT THE FANS Already signed? We need your help to spread the word and grow our message. Check out our toolkit below to share with your compas across social media in less than a minute.  SPREAD THE WORD

Today, and every single day until the final whistle blows, we’re coming together to remind the world that this is Our Copa. 

 

En la lucha, 

Our Copa and Mijente Comité
