With FIFA here in the metroplex, our communities are seeing the contradictions in real time: money for increased police presence, but not to feed the homeless. Football is the people’s sport, and yet our nation and governments are focused on increased surveillance, ICE activity, and unfair treatment towards players, staff, and fans of countries in the Global South. This is not surprising given FIFA’s historical transgressions and our local history with segregation and displacement. Despite brazen imperialism at home and abroad, our communities continue to struggle. We build our own systems to support our neighbors, help the recently incarcerated, feed the unhoused, and take action against ICE. Join us at this summer’s town hall to learn more about the work happening in our area and learn how to plug in!
