Dear fellow MoveOn member,
The United Arab Emirates is a brutal monarchy that has killed thousands of civilians in Yemen.1 The monarchy also imprisons human rights activists, opposes labor rights, and discriminates against women. And yet, the US Open has allowed the UAE's Emirates airline to sponsor its tennis championship.
The UAE monarchy shouldn't be able to abuse and kill thousands while sponsoring glamorous sporting events like the US Open.
Eleven organizations are calling on the US Open and US Tennis Association to drop the UAE and reject the sponsorship dollars of the UAE-owned Emirates airline.2
Thanks!
