This week on TL4T we've got Part 1 of our 2 part episode with No Olympics LA! We're talking with Steve Ducey and Johnny Coleman, both with DSA LA, and the No Olympics LA campaign. From nolympicsla.com "The Olympics puts the interests of the mega-rich and corporate brands above the interests of athletes, fans, and working people in the cities it commandeers. A Los Angeles Olympics (and Paralympics) would primarily service the corporate interests of the IOC and the state and national political ambitions of Mayor Eric Garcetti. Should LA host the Olympics, we will see wide-ranging human rights’ violations and the forfeiture of our city to the interests of contractors, developers, media corporations, and the special interests who designed the bid."
