Protesting the World Cup (and a Cinematic Easter Egg)
Daniel Noroña and Ajamu Baraka join Edge of Sports to discuss practicing dissent in the face of the upcoming World Cup, and we have a bonus movie conversation.
This week, we speak to Ajamu Baraka of the Black Alliance for Peace and Daniel Noroña of Amnesty International about why they are organizing against the 2026 World Cup’s presence in the United States. And then, just in time for Easter, a cinematic Easter egg, as film savant Arya Shirazi and I talk about two forgotten films of our youth.

Your support makes stories like this possible
From illegal war on Iran to an inhumane fuel blockade of Cuba, from AI weapons to crypto corruption, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence.
Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.
Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power.
This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
