Proud to Be: Change the Mascot

The National Congress of American Indians did not have the funds to run this ad during the Super Bowl. You should watch it and share it anyway.

Want to get involved? 

Take action today to urge the Washington NFL team to change their name!

Here are some specific ways that you can help:

Contact the NFL league office and Commissioner Roger Goodell and ask for the Washington franchise to change their mascot:

  • Write to Roger Goodell at NFL Commissioner, 345 Park Ave., New York, NY 10154
  • Call the NFL league office at 212-450-2000.
  • Send a message to Commissioner Goodell on Twitter @nflcommish with the hashtag, #ChangeTheMascot.
  • Here's how to contact the DC team, the NFL, and the DC team's hometown paper: DC Team @redskins Facebook.com/redskins http://www.redskins.com/footer/contact-us.html Roger Goodell & NFL @NFL @NFLcommish https://www.facebook.com/NFL
  • Washington Post DC's hometown paper is still using the R-word in its coverage of the team.

Spread the Word:

  • Print out a “Change the Mascot” sign and bring to NFL games, proudly display at your home or workplace, and share with friends.
  • Contact your local newspapers, radio and TV stations to speak out against the Redskins name.
