Activists, community leaders, and organizers are already teaming up to prevent LA28 from becoming an echo of the 1936 Nazi Olympics.
The article from *The Nation* discusses the controversy surrounding the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, focusing on the opposition from the group NOlympics LA. This group criticizes the Olympics for exacerbating issues like gentrification, displacement, and police militarization in host cities. They argue that the Games, often touted as a boon for economic development, instead lead to significant public costs, environmental degradation, and social disruption. The article highlights how the Olympics tend to benefit private interests and the wealthy, while the burdens fall on local communities, particularly marginalized groups. It also touches on the historical context of Olympic protests and the broader implications of hosting such mega-events, including the potential for increased surveillance and the suppression of dissent. The narrative weaves through the perspectives of activists, local residents, and scholars who question the value and impact of the Olympics on Los Angeles, suggesting that the city might be better off without the Games.
