Join the Movement
No ICE in the Cup is a big tent campaign. Whether you’re a lawyer, a faith leader, a veteran, or a fan — there’s a place for you in the N.I.C.E. Brigade.
What does N.I.C.E. mean to us? NO I.C.E. — and being in community, taking care of one another, and activating during the World Cup across sectors and geographies.
Let’s join forces to organize with our colleagues, demonstrate inclusivity, welcome peoples from all nations, and protect our neighbors. Below are SIX concrete ways you can plug in right now.
What Can You Do?
It’s important to know what your rights are in case of illegal immigration enforcement. You can find information from the ACLU here, instructions to print your own zine to hand out in your community, and information about the rights of bystanders of ICE enforcement actions.
Eleven U.S. cities are hosting World Cup games. If you’re in one of them, make a plan to attend official and unofficial watch parties.

ICE is not good for business. ICE agents on our streets are the opposite of welcoming — and they are not keeping visitors or communities safe. Many businesses have committed to being ICE-free spaces for employees and customers. Look for welcoming signage, and prioritize spending your money in those establishments.
We’ve seen how the presence of ICE galvanizes communities to organize and resist. Readiness for making political violence and repression backfire is crucial to organizing successfully during the World Cup. Learn about backfire training opportunities here, and explore direct action resources on the Beautiful Trouble website.
We know all too well how important it is to exercise our freedom to vote! That’s why it’s critical to build on our organizing efforts during the World Cup to ensure everyone knows how and where to vote. And you can take service to your community one step further as a volunteer poll worker or observer. Get info that’s easy to share here!
