Big news: Major media are reporting on our campaign, thanks to you!
With your support, we are focusing global pressure on UNESCO's terrible partnership with Saudi Arabia's brutal dictator.
Major British, French, Spanish, and Middle Eastern media have all covered our campaign -- and this petition:
- In the UK, The Telegraph covered our campaign.
- In France, three major news outlets interviewed me and published pieces -- Le Monde, Radio France Internationale, and Le Figaro.
- In Spain, the third largest newspaper ABC wrote about our campaign.
- And The New Arab, Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, kicked this all off with its news story.
But that's not all:
- Top UN human rights official Agnes Callamard has now challenged UNESCO for its silence on the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. Read her tweet here.
Many of these stories mentioned your signatures and this petition. Thank you.
I need your help to continue this fight.

The Saudi dictatorship may have a lot of money, but we have smart, strategic campaigns that break through the Saudi dictatorship's propaganda.
Every time we launch a campaign, we send a signal to elites everywhere: Stay away from the Saudi dictatorship.
Our goal isn’t just to change UNESCO. We want to tell every business and political leader that the days of dancing with this dictatorship are over.
Our demands for the Saudi dictatorship are simple:
- Stop bombing the people of Yemen.
- Stop imprisoning women's rights activists.
- Stop arresting political reformers.
The more pressure we build, the greater the costs for Saudi Arabia’s dictator if he tries to ignore us.
All around the world, people like you and me want to our governments to stop dancing with this dictator. While the Saudi dictator may have a lot of money, we have the power of the public.
That’s you.
