EPISODE 3 | NOlympics!
| On this episode of RightLeft Radio, I talk to Anne Orchier and Jonny Coleman, two organizers from the #NOlympicsLA movement, about why everyone's favorite games can have very negative consequences on the fabric of our city. Though they may seem like harmless and fun entertainment, the World Olympics are known for catering to wealthy corporate interests, often leading to a massive wave of displacement, as well as the increased force of militarized police against its own residents. Maybe that's why in a July 18, 2017 poll on Curbed LA, 69% of LA residents said they'd rather have "No Olympics" rather than bring the games here in 2024 or 2028.
