FROM AVAAZ — DEEPLY POLITICAL BUT DOES WAVING A FLAG INFRONT OF TRUMP REQUIRE A BAN?

Sign now During the most-watched telecast in history, one dancer unfurled a flag showing solidarity with the victims of war in Gaza and Sudan. It was an act of bravery and compassion, protesting documented genocides – and now the unnamed man has been “banned for life” from NFL stadiums and events and faces a police investigation. Let’s show that the world stands with him! SIGN NOW Dear friends, While millions across Gaza and Sudan face genocide, one dancer decided to take a stand during the Super Bowl last night – the world’s most-watched telecast. Now he’s treated like a criminal, facing a police investigation and a ban for life from NFL stadiums and events. Now the authorities and key media are onto him, and it’s a way of telling millions of people, “shut up about war crimes and watch TV entertainment.” Together, let’s show he is not alone and the world stands with him. We can show him, and anyone daring to speak truth to power, that the world has heard his message loud and clear. Add your name and we’ll get our global message to him Solidarity with the people of Gaza and Sudan - no punishment for bravery At a time when world leaders are failing to respond to the magnitude of wars and suffering in both places, and Trump - who attended the Super Bowl last night - pours fuel on the fire by suggesting Gaza should be ethnically cleansed, we need to speak up more than ever. Little is known so far about the dancer who concealed the flag on his body and whipped it out during the show (which wasn’t even interrupted.) But facing charges and being banned for this simple act of solidarity is likely to have dire consequences for him and his livelihood. The least we can do is show him he’s not alone – that hundreds of thousands across the world also see the need to protect lives in Gaza and Sudan. So let’s do just that: Sign now and share widely: Solidarity with the people of Gaza and Sudan - no punishment for bravery Avaazers have come together for the people of Gaza and Sudan again and again – funding urgent aid, calling for accountability, and helping to break the media blackout. Let’s now also be there for the one person who chose to risk his job to highlight the plight of Gazans and people across Sudan.
