Support Olympic Athletes Speaking Out Against Trump and ICE!
Olympic athletes have been speaking out against ICE, attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, and the erosion of our democracy under the Trump administration. And they are facing backlash and even threats because of it.
As fans and viewers, we must show our support for these athletes who are using their platforms and voices to advocate for human rights!
As fans and viewers, we must show our support for these athletes who are using their platforms and voices to advocate for human rights!
Why is this important?
Olympians have an enormous platform, and when they arrive on the world stage to represent the United States, millions of people are watching. In moments of national crisis and profound injustices, their voices matter more than ever.
British-American freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy recently wrote “F*ck ICE” in the snow and urged his social media followers to put pressure on lawmakers during the DHS funding negotiations.
Figure skater Amber Glenn from Texas has spoken openly about recent attacks on LGBTQ+ rights and the toll Trump’s administration has taken on queer communities.
At press conferences in Milan, freestyle skier Chris Lillis shared that he feels “heartbroken” about what’s happening, and snowboarders Chloe Kim, Bea Kim, and Maddie Mastro emphasized diversity, compassion, and the responsibility to protect one another in times of injustice.
Olympians have a platform and responsibility to speak out against Trump’s cruelty and attacks on LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities as they represent the U.S. on a global stage. And when they do, they should know they’re not alone.
Show Olympic athletes that we have their backs when they speak out against ICE and other injustices everyday Americans are facing!
