If you've been affected by the smoke from the cold storage facility that's burning in Boyle Heights, you no doubt have questions about safety and air quality.

Join us on Zoom at 7:30 p.m. this evening for a conversation with three experts to provide guidance.

The World Cup promises joy, pride, and unity. But who profits—and who pays?

Our colleagues at @reveal investigate FIFA’s money, power, and politics as the tournament arrives in North America. https://t.co/GKajPpIiQu

"You can take the property owner to court. If the amount owed is more than $10,000, you can file a civil suit. If the amount is below $10,000, you can sue the property owner in Small Claims Court."

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

Two real estate cartel companies are poised to merge — AvalonBay and Equity Residential.

Together, they'd be the largest corporate landlord in the United States.

But this will pose major problems for tenants and a monopoly in communities everywhere.

Did you hear?? Corporate real estate interests are scheming to strip billions from local budgets, gut access to critical services, and override the will of the people: https://t.co/qdns8UxV83 🔥

[Field of Schemes @fieldofschemes]

Economist Moshe Lander estimates Canada will spend more than $1B to host just 12 World Cup matches, with no indication local governments will make more than a fraction of that back in new tax receipts, leaving the entire event a "toxic money sinkhole." https://t.co/c0vbcr9Ckv

[Stephen Wade @StephenWadeAP]

LA Olympics looking for 60,000 unpaid volunteers. By not paying, IOC saves estimated $100-$200 million. IOC income is about $12 billion. This feels like exploitation. IOC could pay but doesn’t. LA CEO Reynold Hoover gets $500,000. Everyone cashes in but most athletes and vols.

[Unrig LA @UnrigLA]

The items re: Measure ULA have been continued from today’s meeting to Wednesday. That limits the runway to have real debate on that topic, as well as Charter Reform, & means you’ll probably need to show up at least an hour early to get inside City Hall.

“Dissent against the World Cup comes up against a complex of private and state interests that are working overtime to make them invisible.”

[Groundwork Collaborative @Groundwork]

FIFA has made the choice to make this year's World Cup unaffordable for the very taxpayers that footed the bill to make it a reality.

By segmenting fans by wealth, a tournament historically defined by its unifying power is becoming yet another gated corner.

[Democracy Now! @democracynow]

Why are World Cup tickets so expensive? Author and former professional soccer player Jules Boykoff breaks down the "dynamic pricing" system that leads to single-game tickets on sale for millions of dollars.

[Stay Housed LA @stayhousedla]

(1/2) In part 4 of our series, The Eviction Process, we break down what happens when tenants and landlords reach an agreement called a “settlement.” Visit https://t.co/NPajwjgOIk for resources and support.

[Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz]

She asked me to share these eviction letters. If u or anyone u know can help her please reach out 🙏

[Adam Crafton @AdamCrafton_]

One of my favorite anecdotes from the build-up to this World Cup, which reveals so much about the collision between FIFA and U.S. cities.

The day a FIFA exec told Los Angeles that LA needed to be “put on the map.”

SAJE teamed up with @metrolosangeles to develop Metro's Equity Toolkit—a practical tool to help transportation planners and community members better understand the relationship between transportation and equity in our neighborhoods: https://t.co/1J9Vx59lTA

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthleticFC: FIFA's president, Gianni Infantino, has stood back while journalists and even a referee have been denied entry to the U.S. The situation is a mess, our columnist writes. https://t.co/T39IluqZYa
