FIFA: Defend human rights

Most recent signers:

The message:

President Trump's attacks on human rights have been relentless – from brutal immigration raids and mass deportations, to crackdowns on free press and reckless disregard for due process.

Yet millions of athletes, fans, journalists, and visitors from across the world will come to North America for the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup. The tournament, which will include 78 matches in the United States, will generate over $11 billion in revenue for FIFA but could put countless people, including millions of anticipated visitors and those already residing in the country, at risk.

FIFA has unique leverage right now to pressure the U.S. government to respect the fundamental human rights of every person visiting and attending the games, as well as those working and living in the 11 U.S. host cities. That's why the ACLU and other members of the Dignity 2026 Coalition have been urging FIFA to act. But FIFA has yet to offer meaningful assurances.

It's time to up the pressure: Join us in demanding that FIFA call for an end to the Trump administration's human rights abuses.

Subject Urge the U.S. government to protect communities, workers, and visitors

I am writing to urge FIFA to take immediate action to protect the rights of players, fans, journalists, workers, and community members in the United States ahead of the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup. The U.S. government has issued executive orders banning visitors from several countries, including from those that will be playing in the tournament; launched unlawful immigration raids in many of the host cities; disregarded due process; and has even dodged the international systems designed to track human rights records.

This tournament should be about celebrating unity and our connection to the world. FIFA must use its unique influence to pressure the United States to protect the human rights of everyone visiting and living in World Cup host cities. Without action today, the World Cup and the beautiful game risk becoming a stage for authoritarianism.

Message Body

FIFA has repeatedly promised that World Cup will be the largest and most inclusive ever. But without clear and forceful advocacy from your organization, those words ring hollow. FIFA must use its influence to call on the U.S. government to uphold human rights, end discriminatory travel bans, and stop immigration enforcement actions that target our communities. Please act now to protect the fundamental rights of the millions of players, fans, journalists, workers, and community members ahead of the World Cup.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.
