⚽️ The 2026 FIFA’s World Cup is being marketed as a celebration of unity, culture, and sport. But for many, mega-events often bring increased policing, surveillance, border enforcement, displacement, and other forms of state violence.

This guide is not about fear, but awareness.

Before attending, it’s important to understand whose lands you’ll be on, how security measures can affect marginalized communities, and the realities that often remain hidden behind the spectacle.

We can love sport and still question the systems surrounding it.

Swipe through to learn what FIFA, governments, and corporate sponsors rarely discuss.

-
⚽️ La Copa Mundial de la FIFA 2026 se promociona como una celebración de la unidad, la cultura y el deporte. Sin embargo, para muchos, los megaeventos suelen conllevar un aumento de la presencia policial, la vigilancia, el control fronterizo, el desplazamiento forzoso y otras formas de violencia estatal.

Esta guía no busca generar miedo, sino conciencia.

Antes de asistir, es importante comprender en qué territorios se encontrará, cómo las medidas de seguridad pueden afectar a las comunidades marginadas y las realidades que a menudo permanecen ocultas tras el espectáculo.

Podemos amar el deporte y, al mismo tiempo, cuestionar los sistemas que lo rodean.

Desliza para descubrir lo que la FIFA, los gobiernos y los patrocinadores corporativos rara vez mencionan.

Be Better Broken: disability justice and death frameworks are integral to understanding brokenness and how to build an ecollectively liberated world beyond the margins. Yaffa, Jen Deerinwater, and Conjure The Light will be in conversation about claiming brokenness as a tool for liberation, something that disabled folks have been doing for generations.

“It’s undeniable that we are seen as broken as disabled, as trans, as Indigenous, and so many other marginalized folks and we are the ones who get to define the magic that comes through that brokenness.”

Presented by: The Masgd, Crushing Colonialism, and Conjure Cultivates.

ASL and automated captions will be provided.

🗓️ May 30th 1-3 pm ET. 60 Minute virtual talk followed by Q&A, link in our bio.

*Note: this event is free but we encourage folks to donate and buy copies of the book — All funds raised from this session will go to support trans/2S folks most impacted by genocide.

- Today, Afro-descendant and Indigenous communities protested outside the offices of Anglo-Swiss multinational company Glencore in Bacatá, or so-called “Bogotá” in “Colombia,” as part of the global week of action, with coordinated actions taking place in multiple countries.

From “Latin America” to “Africa”, communities are resisting fossil fuel colonialism, displacement, and extraction for profit.

“There’s no green transition without justice.”

VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
The Afro-descendant community sings, “We’re not leaving. The people don’t give up,” in front of Glencore’s offices in Bacatá. Around them, accompanying communities hold posters demanding that Glencore leave and calling for an end to the TLC with Israel, among other protest messages.

Hoy, comunidades afrodescendientes e indígenas protestaron frente a las oficinas de la multinacional anglo-suiza Glencore en Bacatá, o la mal llamada “Bogotá”, en Colombia”, como parte de la semana global de acción contra contaminadores, con acciones coordinadas en múltiples países.

Desde “América Latina” hasta “África”, las comunidades resisten el colonialismo de los combustibles fósiles, el despojo y la extracción en nombre del lucro.

No hay transición verde sin justicia.

DESCRIPCIÓN DEL VIDEO:
La comunidad afrodescendiente canta: “No nos vamos. El pueblo no se rinde”, frente a las oficinas de Glencore en Bacatá. A su alrededor, comunidades acompañantes sostienen carteles que exigen la salida de Glencore y piden el fin del TLC con Israel, entre otros mensajes de protesta.
