Adidas has finally joined other brands and agencies and cut ties with Ye (AKA Kanye West).

This wouldn’t have happened without you.

It shouldn’t have taken over 175,000 voices raised in anger. A company with a Nazi past must be at the forefront, not the rearguard, of fighting antisemitism. But better late than never.

Thank you for joining together to sign and promote the petition and proclaim in one voice that no company should profit from antisemitism.

When individuals come together to stand up against hate, we can effect change.

This will not be the last time we must all stand together against hatred. To be involved in future fights, there are three things you can do right now:

1. Follow Campaign Against Antisemitism (@antisemitism) on any social platform
2. Subscribe to our campaign updates
3. Donate to enable us to continue to stand up against hate

Adidas is a huge global brand. Ye is one of the world’s best known celebrities. When we stand together, we can stand up to anyone.

A spokesperson for Campaign Against Antisemitism said: “Adidas has finally joined other brands and agencies and cut ties with Ye (Kanye West). This would not have happened without the almost 175,000 who signed our petition and the celebrities and influencers on both sides of the Atlantic and around the world who helped promote it and amplified the message. A company with a Nazi past must be at the forefront, not the rearguard, of fighting antisemitism. But better late than never. No company should profit from antisemitism.

“As for Ye, who has spent the last two weeks threatening Jews and empowering neo-Nazis, he said that he could say antisemitic things yet Adidas could not drop him and asked ‘now what?’ Now he knows.”
