Petition to Relocate the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics: Stand for Human Rights

The United States is currently set to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympics, two of the most significant global sporting events. However, in light of the escalating human rights concerns within the country, we believe this decision must be urgently reassessed.

Across the U.S., there is a dramatic increase in human rights violations, including:
🔴 Immigration crackdowns targeting vulnerable communities
🔴 Unlawful detentions of international travelers and students
🔴 Discriminatory travel policies disproportionately affecting LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly transgender and non-binary travelers
🔴 Government suppression of activists and journalists who speak out against injustices

These violations are so severe that Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and several Nordic nations have issued travel warnings to their citizens about entry into the U.S. This level of government instability and disregard for fundamental freedoms has, in the past, led FIFA and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to relocate events or face mass boycotts.

Allowing the U.S. to host these prestigious events under its current policies sends a dangerous message that sports can take precedence over basic human rights. The FIFA World Cup and the Olympics are meant to represent unity, equality, and fair play—values that are increasingly under attack in the United States.

As esteemed global organizations, FIFA and the IOC have a duty to uphold human rights and stand against oppression. We call on them to:
✔️ Reconsider the United States as a host nation for the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics
✔️ Review alternative venues that align with human rights principles
✔️ Send a clear message that global sporting events will not be used to legitimize authoritarian policies

The world is watching. Athletes, fans, and human rights defenders must take a stand before it is too late. Sign this petition today and urge FIFA and the IOC to take action for human rights.
