Send a letter to Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante demanding the exclusion of Israel Premier Tech from the Grand Prix Cyclistes de Montréal

A letter demanding that the Israel Premier Tech cycling team not be allowed to participate in the Grand Prix de Montréal race to be held on September 14, 2025 was delivered by bailiff to the office of Mayor Valerie Plante on Friday, September 5. Join in sending your own letter

Sylvan Adams – (a close friend of the criminal Benjamin Netanyahu) – the owner of the Israel Premier Tech racing team (formerly known as Israel Start-Up Nation)  has referred to himself as a “self-appointed ambassador at large for the State of Israel” and has indicated that Israel–Premier Tech cyclists are also seen as ambassadors for the country.

By allowing a team acting as a promotional agent for a state accused of human rights violations at an event it sponsors, the City of Montreal exposes itself to a real risk of complicity and whitewashing of these crimes through sport, commonly known as “sportswashing.”

Consequently, PAJU and Just Peace Advocates formally request the City of Montreal, and  Mayor Valérie Plante, to use their authority to demand the immediate exclusion of the Israel-Premier Tech team from the list of participants in the 2025 Grand Prix Cyclistes de Montréal.
