Frequently Asked Questions
What is the #KickRacism initiative for the 2026 FIFA World Cup?
The #KickRacism initiative is a hip-hop-powered social justice movement designed to combat racism, racial discrimination, and xenophobia during the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. It unites soccer fans, athletes, and artists to create a lasting legacy of inclusion and respect, aligning with the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action (DDPA).
How does hip-hop culture support anti-racism activism?
Hip-hop has historically served as a powerful platform for exposing social injustices and advocating for marginalized communities.

How can I volunteer for social justice initiatives during the 2026 World Cup?
You can get involved by signing the #KickRacism pledge, sharing your personal stories using the hashtags #KickRacism, #MyStory, and #ShareTheMic, volunteering for various community roles in host cities, and making financial contributions to support anti-discrimination programs.

Is #KickRacism just a social media campaign?
No, #KickRacism goes beyond digital activism. While it utilizes social media to amplify voices and encourage actionable allyship, the campaign focuses on tangible outcomes. This includes funding youth development programs, facilitating community dialogues in host cities, and advocating for policy changes such as local hiring, worker protections, and support for the unhoused.
