Puma stop supporting illegal Israeli settlements, which make Palestinian families even more vulnerable in times of pandemics

Take 3 Actions for 3rd Global Boycott Puma (Online) Day of Action

Puma AGM

In a few days, Puma will hold its annual shareholders meeting.

Let’s make sure the agenda includes ending Puma’s support for Israel’s illegal military occupation making Palestinian families even more vulnerable at a time of global pandemic.

Puma is involved in multiple activities in illegal Israeli settlements on stolen Palestinian land. 

Israel’s military occupation and settlements, considered war crimes in international law, force Palestinian families from their homes, crowd Palestinians in densely populated refugee camps and limit access to clean water and healthcare.

We’re staying home, but we won’t be silent! Today, join others across the world for an online #BoycottPuma rally for Palestinian rights.

Take three actions for the 3rd Global Boycott Puma Day of Action.

Want to do more? See ideas for additional actions you can take from home.  

Puma sponsors the Israel Football Association, which includes clubs in illegal Israeli settlements, and its exclusive licensee in Israel is listed in the UN database of illegal settlement companies.

Sports teams are dropping Puma sponsorship and pledging not to join the #PumaFam until Puma ends its complicity in Israel’s violations of Palestinian rights.

Puma is listening. A Puma attorney told us that our calls to boycott Puma are making their lives “miserable.” 

Ending Puma’s already deeply immoral support for Israel’s violations of Palestinian rights is more urgent than ever.

Take just a few minutes to let Puma shareholders know that supporting Israeli apartheid is not only immoral, but also comes with costs.

Telephone Puma’s headquarters in Germany: +49 9132 810 or your local Puma office.

Sample phone script

 
Hello,

I’m calling as a customer deeply concerned about Puma’s current sponsorship of the Israel Football Association.

I understand you are personally not responsible for this, but ask you to make a note and kindly pass my message to Puma management and the Puma supervisory board.

The Israel Football Association operates in illegal Israeli settlements, on land stolen from Palestinians. Puma’s sponsorship brings international legitimacy to the Israel Football Association and helps sustain the infrastructure of illegal settlements.

Every settlement is a war crime under international law.  Settlements force Palestinian families from their homes, crowd Palestinians in densely populated refugee camps and limit access to clean water and healthcare. Settlements make Palestinian families even more vulnerable at a time of global pandemic.

In addition, Puma’s exclusive licensee in Israel – Delta - was listed in the recently published UN database of complicit settlement companies.

I join more than 200 Palestinian football teams in calling on Puma to terminate the IFA sponsorship deal and end all support of Israel’s military occupation.

I am extremely surprised that Puma has continued its unethical sponsorship of the Israel Football Association, and am calling to say I will personally be boycotting Puma for as long as it remains complicit in Israeli war crimes.

Please pass this message on. Thanks.

Dear Bjørn Gulden, dear Puma Supervisory Board Members, dear Puma shareholders,

Puma is contributing to serious violations of Palestinian human rights, making Palestinian families even more vulnerable at a time of global pandemic.

 

Puma is the main sponsor of the Israel Football Association (IFA), which includes clubs in illegal Israeli settlements. Puma’s exclusive licensee in Israel has branches in illegal settlements and is listed in the UN database of illegal settlement companies.

 

Israel’s military occupation forces Palestinian families from their homes, crowds Palestinians in densely populated refugee camps, creates obstacles to accessing clean water and healthcare. It also denies Palestinians the right to freedom of movement and hampers the development of Palestinian sports.

 

Supporting Israeli apartheid comes with costs.

 

Malaysia’s largest university dropped Puma as sponsor of its football team. Following tens of thousands of messages to UK football clubs, Chester FC decided not to renew its contract with Puma citing “ethical working practices” among its criteria, Forest Green Rovers FC stated they would not sign with Puma, and Liverpool FC opted for another sponsor.

 

Former Barcelona FC player Oleguer Presas, Donegal Celtic FC in Belfast, and dozens of men’s and women’s amateur rugby, football and basketball teams support the call from more than 200 Palestinian sports teams urging Puma to end its support for Israel’s military occupation.

 

The global pandemic shows that now more than ever that we must stand together to ensure that no one is left behind.

 

As long as Puma supports Israel’s military occupation, I will respect the call from Palestinian athletes to boycott Puma.

 

Sincerely,

Puma, end support for Israel's military occupation making Palestinian families even more vulnerable Send email now Email Text First Name * Last Name * Organization Country * - Select a value -AfghanistanAlbaniaAlgeriaAmerican SamoaAndorraAngolaAnguillaAntarcticaAntigua and BarbudaArgentinaArmeniaArubaAscension IslandAustraliaAustriaAzerbaijanBahamasBahrainBangladeshBarbadosBasque CountryBelarusBelgiumBelizeBeninBermudaBhutanBoliviaBosnia and HerzegovinaBotswanaBouvet IslandBrazilBritish Indian Ocean TerritoryBrunei DarussalamBulgariaBurkina FasoBurundiCambodiaCameroonCanadaCap VerdeCataloniaCayman IslandsCentral African RepublicChadChileChinaChristmas IslandCocos (Keeling) IslandsColombiaComorosCook IslandsCosta RicaCote d'IvoireCroatia/HrvatskaCubaCyprusCzech RepublicDemocratic People's Republic of KoreaDemocratic Republic of CongoDenmarkDjiboutiDominican RepublicDominicaEcuadorEgyptEl SalvadorEquatorial GuineaEritreaEstoniaEthiopiaEuropeEuskal-HerriaFalkland Islands (Malvina)Faroe IslandsFederal State of MicronesiaFijiFinlandFranceFrench GuianaFrench PolynesiaFrench Southern TerritoriesGabonGambiaGeorgiaGermanyGhanaGibraltarGreeceGreenlandGrenadaGuadeloupeGuamGuatemalaGuernseyGuinea-BissauGuineaGuyanaHaitiHeard and McDonald IslandsHoly See (City Vatican State)HondurasHong KongHungaryIcelandIndiaIndonesiaIranIraqIrelandIsle of ManIsraelItalyJamaicaJapanJerseyJordanKazakhstanKenyaKiribatiKuwaitKyrgyzstanLao People's Democratic RepublicLatviaLebanonLesothoLiberiaLibyan Arab JamahiriyaLiechtensteinLithuaniaLuxembourgMacauMacedonia, Former Yugoslav RepublicMadagascarMalawiMalaysiaMaldivesMaliMaltaMarshall IslandsMartiniqueMauritaniaMauritiusMayotteMexicoMoldova, Republic ofMonacoMongoliaMontserratMoroccoMozambiqueMyanmarNamibiaNauruNepalNetherlands AntillesNetherlandsNew CaledoniaNew ZealandNicaraguaNigeriaNigerNiueNorfolk IslandNorthern Mariana IslandsNorwayOmanOtherPakistanPalauPalestinePanamaPapua New GuineaParaguayPeruPhilippinesPitcairn IslandPolandPortugalPuerto RicoQatarRepublic of CongoRepublic of KoreaReunion IslandRomaniaRussian FederationRwandaSaint Kitts and NevisSaint LuciaSaint Vincent and the GrenadinesSan MarinoSao Tome and PrincipeSaudi ArabiaScotlandSenegalSeychellesSierra LeoneSingaporeSlovak RepublicSloveniaSolomon IslandsSomaliaSouth AfricaSouth AmericaSouth Georgia and South Sandwich IslandsSpainSri LankaSt. HelenaSt. Pierre and MiquelonSudanSurinameSvalbard and Jan Mayen IslandsSwazilandSwedenSwitzerlandSyrian Arab RepublicTaiwanTajikistanTanzaniaThailandTimor-LesteTogoTokelauTongaTrinidad and TobagoTunisiaTurkeyTurkmenistanTurks and Caicos IslandsTuvaluUS Minor Outlying IslandsUgandaUkraineUnited Arab EmiratesUnited KingdomUnited StatesUruguayUzbekistanVanuatuVenezuelaVietnamVirgin Islands (British)Virgin Islands (USA)Wallis and Futuna IslandsWestern SaharaWestern SamoaYemenYugoslaviaZambiaZimbabwe Your Email * I'd like to join the campaign and receive updates by email from the BDS movement Related Page Title Related Page URL Emails Email Subject Submit
