People amongst the rubble of destroyed buildings in Rafah

John,

Gaza has become hell on earth at the hands of the Israeli government. A mass famine looms and STILL Israel faces no consequences.

In days, we can start to change that.

The Olympic Committee has a major meeting in Switzerland next week. We plan to team up with partners in order to meet them, in the streets and in the media, with a powerful call to ban Israel from international sports until further notice – just like they made with Russia 4 days after Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

We know a ban is possible but we can’t win it without you – we'll need an unbelievable amount of pressure to get the Olympic Committee to listen.

If all of us chip in we can launch a mega-campaign to get activists on the ground, buy ads, and plan media-grabbing stunts right outside the Olympic Committee’s upcoming meetings and Olympic qualifying events to make our call impossible to ignore.

This is about more than sports – it’s about starting to hold Israel’s government accountable on the world stage. Can you chip in to demand accountability for the horrors in Gaza?

It’s unbelievably hypocritical – the Olympic Charter says that the Olympics should "contribute to building a peaceful world..." There is nothing peaceful about genocide and famine. That’s why it’s so important the Olympic Committee follows its OWN rules by banning Israel from the games! 

Billions of people globally watch the Olympics – and are watching in horror at what is happening in Gaza. Barring Israel from the world’s biggest television event would send a powerful message that Israel WILL be met with resistance on an international platform.  

Over 300 sports teams in Palestine have already demanded action from the Olympic Committee. With your help, we can amplify their voices and pile on the pressure getting campaigners on the ground, printing banners, flyering, buying ads, and renting billboards to put our call right in the Olympic Committee’s face.

But we just have a matter of days to pull this off. For this to work we need the Ekō community to make as big of a splash as possible right now. Can you chip in to make this happen?

John, we know we can use sports to push for justice in Gaza. After Israel's 9-day siege on Gaza in 2021, 140,000 Ekō members like you called one of the world’s biggest sports brands, PUMA, to drop its sponsorship of the Israel Football Association. We met with PUMA’s CEO to deliver our message. And thanks to our collective pressure, and the tireless work of Palestinian solidarity activists over the years, PUMA announced it ended its relationship with Israel’s football federation last year, months after Israel’s current invasion.

Let’s do it again!

Thanks for all that you do,
Angus and the Ekō team
