    Hi everyone,

    There are only two more days until the ceremony. We all need to invite everyone we know if we want to reach our goal by then. This is a really small ask, just to not watch the TV for one Friday night.

    To reiterate: This is not a condemnation of the Olympics. In fact, I think the Olympics serves as a great example of how nations should be interacting and competing with each other (versus, say, war). The issue here is that there is a huge celebration going on that people are making money from (from us watching) and a lot of that money is going to a country that is financially supporting a genocidal state. Boycotting the ceremonies doesn’t hurt the athletes or the athletics, just the sponsors and the Olypmic’s revenue.

    Please spread the word.
