Here is the Social Media Campaign against the major companies sponsoring the Qatar World Cup: #FIFASlavery Campaign

This is the sample Tweet that will be Tweeted when the campaign launches and we can create a Twitter storm:

“ @adidas, @Hyundai, @Kia, @McDonalds, @Budweiser, @CocaCola, @Visa support slavery and more, I do not. #FIFASlavery http://hfht.co/r5MNH ”

Petition: can be found here.

“FIFA clearly don’t give a damn, but the sponsors are probably getting worried about all the negativity surrounding the World Cup in Qatar.”

Here’s a list of email addresses belonging to PR departments and CEOs from the main sponsors.

Feel free to email them asking why they are sponsoring slavery, corruption, misogyny and homophobia.
