“Successful for us means that games succeed for everyone, not just for Airbnb, the FIFA president and Donald Trump. Right now, that’s where it’s headed. Somebody needs to stand up and say, ‘No, that’s not how the World Cup should be done’.”

There are just 10 weeks left. Millions of fans want to enjoy this tournament. But having one eye on the match and one eye on whether ICE is coming is no way to celebrate. It’s time to act now and save the World Cup from being a stage for repression. Stop the fear. Bring back the joy.

Over 500,000 people were deported from the USA in 2025 – six times more than will watch the World Cup final at the MetLife stadium in July. Our new report today outlines the real risks to fans and communities that FIFA and host governments must urgently address. 👇 www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

US President Donald Trump’s fossil fueled bullying continues. A few profit from climate denialism; many will pay. Other countries must stand up & stop Trump’s destruction of the mechanisms we need to protect human rights in the face of the accelerating climate crisis. www.politico.eu/article/us-s...

At #WEF #Davos, the world’s richest will meet under “A Spirit of Dialogue”. But dialogue w/out multilateral cooperation & int’l law means nothing. While most of the #SDGs are off-track, authoritarian practices threaten peace, worsen the climate crisis & erode #humanrights. A 🧵

Spoke to the Guardian on amnesty’s 1978 World Cup campaign and how our expectations of bodies like FIFA have since changed. It feels like change will come when either customers or sponsors revolt, monopolies are challenged or sport’s autonomy is regulated. And it may need a crisis to kick it off.

Tax can be a powerful tool for realizing rights, but the U.S. govt has opted to instead protect the interests of large corporations. All eyes are on the still being negotiated UN tax convention, where states have the opportunity to enshrine a human rights promoting global tax agreement.
