As a US citizen, I am deeply concerned and embarrassed by the actions of our current president, Donald Trump. His administration has repeatedly shown disregard for the values of unity, respect, and international cooperation that epitomize the Olympic Games. We believe it is unjust that a country led by such an authoritarian presidency should be allowed to host an event of global peace such as the 2028 Olympics.

It is clear through Trump’s stance on conflicts like the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the conflict in Gaza that he does not stand for peace, but rather for his own selfish interests. In the few months of his presidency, he has broken from US allies in the United Nations and berated president Zelensky, making a disgrace of this country

Therefore, we, the undersigned, request the International Olympic Committee and global communities to reconsider the location of the 2028 Olympics, or actively show protest by skipping the event. 

In the spirit of withholding support to environments fostering hate and division, we should echo the sentiments of the widespread boycott of Moscow's 1980 Olympics. This event was boycotted by 66 nations, including the US, in protest against the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan – an illustration of global discontent against unwarranted aggression (Source: The Olympic Movement). Today, we face a similar choice – to allow the games to hail under an administration that has shown contempt for diplomatic alliances and global equity. It's essential to remember that the Olympics is more than a sporting event; it's a testament to unity, peace, and international brotherhood.

Show solidarity against leadership that deviates from these principles. Let's speak for unity, peace, and respect. Please sign this petition to ensure our voices are heard on a global platform.
