We don’t want our club to sell its soul to the highest bidder. And we certainly don’t want to wear it on our sleeves.
We think anything - literally anything - would be better than Visit Rwanda.
Even TOTTENHAM.
And what do we think of them?
We’re Gunners for Peace, a group of proud gooners who want our club to hold itself to the values it claims.
We’re part of this club. We know its history and its traditions. We love its work with young people and the local community. And this is why we believe that Visit Rwanda does not belong on our shirt.
The Rwandan government is taking money away from its own people and giving it to a terrorist gang accused of brutal atrocities in the DRC, to make themselves rich and oppress their neighbours. They are also giving money to Arsenal in an effort to gain an appearance of respectability that they don’t deserve. The Visit Rwanda sponsorship is sportwashing in action, and it’s time for Arsenal to ditch it.
We would rather wear anything else on our sleeves - even Tottenham. So we created the Visit Tottenham campaign to highlight just how wrong Visit Rwanda is.
We want to make the board uncomfortable. We want to grab the attention of our fellow fans. We want to make some noise. There’s a difficult question that needs to be asked.
Luckily the answer is very simple.
End Visit Rwanda.
Find somebody else.
OK, so we’ve never been the best of friends.
But as far as we know, they’ve never invaded Walthamstow.
We think Visit Tottenham would be better than Visit Rwanda, and we can prove it. Join us on a magical journey up the Seven Sisters Road, and explore an undiscovered world that’s not quite like anywhere else.
