Advocates concerned city has not reviewed LA28 plan for homeless, human trafficking

"From an anti-trafficking perspective, this is a historic moment. Yet the public has no access to the draft. Without transparency, Los Angeles cannot responsibly prepare, and advocates cannot provide informed guidance. LA28 is setting a global precedent - one that currently lacks public accountability."

"A report on how Olympic organizers will tackle civil rights, homeless and human trafficking ahead and during the 2028 Games has not been made public by the city more than two months after it was filed and no date for its release has been set, leaving human rights advocates fearing the issues will not get the attention and funding they deserve."

LA28 organizers completed a human rights strategy report addressing civil rights, homelessness, and human trafficking for the 2028 Olympics by the December 31 deadline. However, the city has not made the report public more than two months later, and no release date has been set. Council president Marqueece Harris-Dawson has not placed the report on the ad-hoc committee's agenda. City officials claim they have not seen the document. Human rights advocates and legal experts express concern that lack of transparency prevents public discussion, informed guidance from advocates, and adequate funding for these critical issues. The delay undermines Los Angeles's ability to responsibly prepare and sets a problematic global precedent lacking public accountability.
