Fair Games LA and the Starbucks Workers Union recently posted that Starbucks hasn’t “earned the privilege” of being an Olympic sponsor, given the company’s well-documented union-busting practices. It’s clear to us that they align perfectly

I join Runners for Justice in Palestine to deliver a letter from 367 Palestinian teams to @Reebok HQ in Boston. Until Reebok drops the deeply complicit Israel Football Association, we will #BoycottReebok. Join me: loom.ly/j22LxUs
What's next for Gaza? 🧵 After the hostage release, Israel will hold onto a fully depopulated 58% of Gaza. After an international force enters, Israel will hold onto 40% of Gaza where the IDF's proxy gangs will thrive! Genocide or reconstruction? The devil is in the details!
If you work at a New Zealand university, please sign this open letter calling on UniSaver to divest from occupation, apartheid, and genocide. And if you don't work at a university, you can still sign in solidarity...@mjdutt @LeonASalter @OJutel @muzaken docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
Tomorrow! I’ll be hosting a talk on why Israel MUST be kicked out of football. Joined by Palestinian voices like @AbubakerAbedW and Nicola Hadwa, plus campaigners & cultural figures including @Africa4Pal, @rogerwaters and many more. Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

We speak to the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel and BDS Deportivo about why they are protesting against the participation of Israel–Premier Tech at the Vuelta a España. Read more: bikeradar.com/news/pro-pales…
Tomorrow's front page 📰 Starmer rolls out red carpet for genocide
This is incredible news that no mainstream UK news outlet is reporting. US and Israel are isolated in the UN General Assembly but @BBCNews @SkyNews and our ‘free press’ remain silent. Why?
UN General Assembly votes overwhelmingly to move from NYC to Geneva after US bans Palestine reps. 154-2 vote against US-Israeli arrogance... skwawkbox.org/2025/09/07/un-…
There is no world where @TennisCanada moving forward with its @DavisCup matches against Israel and its genocidal army of players next week is acceptable!
Protestors at @tenniscanada’s head office in Toronto calling on the team to withdraw from the @daviscup match against Israel next week – just like Team Canada withdrew from the Davis Cup in 1978 to protest South African apartheid. 🧵
For people who say keep politics out of sport and that protests at cycle races shouldn't take place! @IsraelPremTech are sportswashing genocide! Support @newportpsc and the protests along the route of the Tour of Britain
What continues to amaze me when I read Palestinians pour their hearts out is the heartless replies by zionists. I have never seen such open cruelty & inhumanity when oppressed ppl are publicly living through a holocaust & pleading for it to stop. Pls amplify Ahmed.
The International Association of Genocide Scholars has overwhelmingly passed a resolution recognizing Israel’s crimes as genocidal. Where the label was once accused of being exaggerated, critical scrutiny is now turning against the genocide deniers: jacobin.com/2025/09/genoci…
"The simple fact is that Moh Ahmed’s demands carry more weight than nearly every legal scholar combined. That’s the potential power of an athletic boycott." For @anadoluagency, @RebeccaO_K + I argue we must work w/ athletes to ban 🇮🇱 from global sport now, before it's too late.
In Aotearoa and Australia, athletes are increasingly speaking out in solidarity with Palestinians. Using hākinakina (sport) as a site of resistance, they are drawing parallels to their own (ongoing) histories of colonisation and the ongoing struggle for Palestinian liberation.
I appeal one more time to sporting bodies: please support the family of late Palestinian football legend Suleiman Al Obaid. The world stood in solidarity when he was killed, yet his family has been left abandoned. They deserve care, not neglect. @theafcdotcom @UEFA @FIFAcom
Mega-events like the Olympics and World Cup are sites for Israeli military contractors to advertise and test their genocidal technology.
