Episode 3: The Movement Against The IOC
b'The movement against the Olympics is not limited to Los Angeles, of course. We\\u2019ve seen opposition organizations spring up from Denver to Hamburg, Tokyo to Turino, Calgary to Chicago and everywhere in between, as the International Olympic Committee repeats their pattern wherever find a city to reel in. \\n\\nFor this episode, we feature guests who were documenting the struggle in Rio in the lead up to the 2016 games and who were involved in No Boston\\u2019s successful fight to push out the 2024 bid. We reveal that, despite some local differences, we are all fighting the same fight against the IOC who helps create heightened militarization, displacement, and authoritarianism in the name of extracting profit. The struggle against this form of neoliberal lotteryism is both a hyper-local and transnational one. \\n\\nPhoto credit: Melito Junior/M\\xeddia Ninja, republished with Creative Commons license. \\n\\nTo learn more about Rio: http://www.rioonwatch.org/\\n\\nTo learn more about Boston: https://www.nobostonolympics.org/'
