Too many people—including well-meaning ones in our own community—get it twisted. We aren’t the source of the inequalities our families face. Racism and patriarchy are.

Here's a helpful guide we made to remind you of WHO WINS and WHO LOSES when the Olympics come to town.

The Olympics are inherently

🚫 racist
🚫 fascist
🚫 anti-poor
🚫 anti-trans
🚫 anti-athlete

Shoddy journalism like this enables and emboldens vigilantes who try to harm and murder the unhoused.

It also gives politicians the justification to move forward with inhumane policies.

Meanwhile, the editors at LAT will probably submit this for some chintzy journalism award.

[Zoie Matthew @disc0nap]

Oof. This perpetuates a lot of harmful stereotypes, but failing to mention that a majority of homeless people in L.A. have lived here for over a decade is...particularly reckless 🥴 https://t.co/tZI2Cztxyf

[Street Watch LA @StreetWatchLA]

@latimes is a disgrace for publishing this dangerous right wing garbage from Steve Lopez.

To center housed people as the victims of homelessness is beyond irresponsible.

It’s straight up fascist copaganda that will incite more vigilante violence on unhoused people.

Unpaid tickets result in warrants & arrests.

“I’ve never gotten a warning or nothing for sleeping here” Slim told us.

“It’s illegal to sleep here, it’s illegal to sleep in the city I guess.”

The cop checked “previous warning” on Slim’s ticket but that was a lie. W/ record breaking heat this week, how many unhoused folks have we killed w/ the sick practice of writing tickets & extracting nonexistent funds from people seeking rest & shelter the city refuses to provide?

[DSA-LA 🌹 @dsa_losangeles]

“If I set my tent up, they come by and make you take it down. But if you don’t set your tent up and you’re just trying to get some damn sleep, they skooch by and write you a ticket … Do not, do not put a damn tent up, because you’re gonna get a ticket.”

Also during this “comprehensive cleanup” in Hollywood: 8 police officers and 6 sanitation are deployed to arrest and remove the property of an elderly woman from the sidewalk. ZERO outreach or mental health workers present. @MayorOfLA @MitchOFarrell explain yourselves.

[NOlympics LA @NOlympicsLA]

The Olympics supercharges pre-existing and logics of capitalism policing and plutocratic governance - of course we have a problem with the Mayor.

No Olympics in LA, No Olympics Anywhere
