🚨 BREAKING: Dressed as referees, @GreenpeaceEAsia activists just flashed RED CARDS at @Hyundai_Global HQ in Seoul! 🟥⚽
This is the climax of a month-long global campaign with NGO allies across South Korea, Mexico, and the US targeting World Cup sportswashing. 🧵👇

The #FIFAWorldCup is here—and so is @Hyundai_Global's greenwashing.
While promoting EVs on football's biggest stage, #Hyundai still sells millions of fossil-fueled cars each year. Its annual emissions are comparable to Spain's.

🚨⚽️ RED CARD HYUNDAI! As the #FIFAWorldCup kicks off today, people from all around the world are red-carding @Hyundai_Global, one of the main sponsors.
Hyundai has a slick marketing campaign. But hidden behind the ball-kicking robots and test drive offers is the reality of Hyundai’s business model:
❌ Workers killed on the job.
❌ Children illegally employed in its supply chain factories.
❌ Indigenous activists in Mexico who disappeared after protesting Hyundai’s steel supplier.
Be the referee. Will you give Hyundai a red card? action.eko.org/a/red-card-hy…

#POSCO & @GM called out for #steel related air pollution & health risks in Detroit print media @freep.
Gwangyang 🇰🇷 residents suffer due to harmful emissions from POSCO's #coal-based steelmaking.
@GM & POSCO must prioritize #GreenSteel to protect environment & community health.

Reminder I worked for @NoLabelsOrg as Deputy Director... they are not a bipartisan group. Its a group funded by corporations and wealthy Republican donors that parade as being "bipartisan". Im ashamed I worked there and to tell the truth: they are liars. They care about $ not you
