  • Dutch athlete Tessel Middag is one of more than 130 professional women’s soccer players who signed an open letter in 2024 criticizing FIFA’s decision to partner with Saudi Aramco.

    Activism, she says, comes naturally to women’s soccer players, who have always had to fight for their place in the sport.

    FIFA’s four-year partnership with Aramco includes the 2027 Women’s World Cup.

    “We feel like the good work that we and our predecessors, the women that came before us have done, would be dishonoured by partnerships such as the one that was announced with Saudi Aramco,” Middag said.



  • Both !
    I feel a lot better since going vegan, in my body and in my head, I feel like i live a bit more by my values and it’s great. I also think anti-speciesism has been affecting my engagement in actively doing some good in my communities (whether it’s about animals, people or else)
    But by becoming vegan, I had to overcome the cognitive dissonance that had been with me since I was a child, the very same one created by the agri-food lobbies to separate the product from the animal. And that has brought these two ends of the chain back together, showing that one simply cannot exist without the other. And by getting rid of this cognitive dissonance, I am more exposed to the fact that the majority of the rest of the world continues to kill, torture and so on, I am more sensitive to it for sure
    So I’d say both
