Dear MoveOn member,
Corporate America is helping Trump build his deportation machine. Home Depot and Lowe's are now regular sites for lethal raids.1,2 Tech giants like Apple and Meta are caving to pressure and are taking down ICE watch apps and Facebook groups that help keep our communities safe.3 And now, the NFL is next in line to play along.
DHS secretary Kristi Noem says ICE will be "all over" the Super Bowl.4 If that happens, it won't be just Trump and ICE responsible, it will be the NFL, too.
Will you take one minute to write to the NFL and tell them: No ICE at the Super Bowl? Demand that they act now to stop ICE from targeting fans, workers, and families at the 2026 Super Bowl.
Bad Bunny, this year's halftime performer, already decided to not tour his latest album in the United States out of fear of ICE raids targeting his fans.5 He's faced racist attacks from Trump's allies, and now ICE officials are tying their threats to his performance. The Super Bowl should be a celebration of sport, music, and community, not a stage for Trump's violence and fear. If ICE is allowed to turn Levi's Stadium into a raiding ground, the NFL will be complicit.
The NFL is one of the most powerful institutions in America, raking in billions from the labor of players, stadium workers, and fans. The Super Bowl alone generates up to a billion dollars in profit just from ad revenue.6 The NFL cannot profit off our communities one day and abandon them to ICE the next.
Write to the NFL today to remind them that the fans and workers who make their profits possible expect courage, not complicity in the face of Trump's deportation machine.
The NFL cannot claim to stand for unity and diversity while turning its back on the very people who fill its stadiums and power its profits. If they allow ICE to raid the Super Bowl, they will be complicit in turning America's biggest sporting event into a weapon of fear and intimidation. Add your voice now and demand that the NFL choose courage over complicity and take a stand against ICE's terror.
Thanks for all you do.
