FIFA painted over a beautiful, long-standing mural in Downtown Dallas.
It was gifted to the city by marine life artist & conservationist Wyland in the 90s as a reminder to protect our beloved oceans.
What an unnecessary loss, especially given no matches are actually in Dallas.
The artist behind this painting, Criselda Vasquez, painted this portrait of her parents in 2017. The man in this painting, her father, was recently taken by ICE. He has lived in the United States for forty years. This loss has made it hard for the family to support themselves. If you want to support them, you can go to their GoFundMe here:
