47,000+ Sign Petition Calling for Pink’s Removal as UNICEF Ambassador

A petition calling for Pink to be removed as a UNICEF Ambassador has surpassed 47,000 verified signatures on Change.org.

The petition follows backlash over Pink’s response to Macklemore’s pro-Palestinian remarks during his performance at an Ed Sheeran concert. Pink had reposted a message criticizing Macklemore’s performance, prompting criticism from people who said her response was incompatible with her role as a UNICEF Ambassador.

The petition argues that UNICEF ambassadors should uphold humanitarian values and show equal concern for children affected by conflict, including Palestinian children in Gaza.

Pink has since addressed the backlash, saying she supports Palestinians’ right to a future that honors their humanity, while also condemning Hamas and emphasizing her concern for innocent children on all sides.

UNICEF has not announced that Pink has been removed from her role. The petition is an independent Change.org campaign and does not represent a decision by UNICEF.

The controversy has sparked a wider conversation around celebrity ambassadors, humanitarian advocacy and the responsibilities that come with using a global platform.
