We are three Loyola Law Students, Alexandria Trejo, Amanda Pepe, and Patricia Gonzalez,  working with the Sunita Jain Anti-Trafficking Initiative to Prevent Human Trafficking prior to and during the Olympics. On September 30, 2026,  we spoke before the Ad Hoc Committee on the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games to call for concrete action, transparency, and meaningful community participation in LA28 planning. First, we  urged the Council to set a firm public deadline for LA28’s final Human Rights Plan and require regular updates. Human rights protections for trafficking survivors, workers, people with disabilities, and unhoused Angelenos cannot remain open-ended promises. Second, we asked the Council to follow up with LA28 CEO Reynold Hoover on the Human Rights Grants Program. LA28 promised program details by the end of summer, and while grants of $50,000 to $100,000 are a welcome first step, critical questions remain about total funding, the number of grants, eligibility, application timelines, accountability, and community involvement. We ask LA28 to release these details within two weeks or provide a firm timeline immediately. Organizations need this information to prepare. Third, we called on Councilmembers to hold Ad Hoc Committee meetings at least monthly and publish agendas well in advance. Last-minute notice excludes community members, service providers, and people with lived experience who need time to arrange transportation, adjust work schedules, and prepare public comments. The 2028 Games will reshape our neighborhoods, transit, and public spending. Communities deserve meaningful opportunities to influence decisions while they are still being made—not after they are finalized. A human rights–centered Olympics requires more than promises. It requires clear deadlines, transparent funding, regular public meetings, early agenda notices, and genuine accountability. Los Angeles still has time to get this right, but action is needed now. Please sign and demand a real Human Rights Plan, transparent grant funding, and an accessible, accountable public planning process for LA28.
