Dear Friends and Supporters,
We’re at a pivotal moment, and I want to thank you for standing with us in our effort to bring Olympic Sailing back to San Pedro for the LA28 Games. Your signature and support are helping create real momentum.
Two recent updates from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and LA28 show that planning is progressing, with strong emphasis on community engagement and legacy building:
- The IOC Coordination Commission recently praised LA28’s progress, highlighting their commitment to “creating lasting benefits for the people of Los Angeles.” Read more here → The Sports Examiner
- The IOC’s official Olympic website echoed that message: “With three years to go, excitement and community engagement grow for LA28.”

And yet, despite unanimous support from the LA City Council to move sailing to San Pedro, LA28 has still made no public mention of this venue change. That’s why your voice, and your outreach matter more than ever.
If You Donated: You Made a Impact
If you chipped in to become a “Promoter” on Change.org, thank you! Your contribution helped purchase more views for our petition, meaning more people saw it who were likely to support and sign. These “purchased views” lead to real results: new signatures, new momentum, and a stronger voice for our community.
What You Can Do Now:
Share the petition on social media, especially Facebook. Facebook has been the #1 driver of new signatures so far. A single share can lead to dozens of new supporters. You never know who you’ll reach!
Send it to your sailing community, friends, or local organizations who care about youth sports, legacy projects, and Olympic history.
This Isn’t Just a Petition. It’s a Movement. This is about honoring LA’s Olympic history. About giving the sport the visibility, it deserves. About ensuring inclusion, safety, and legacy guide LA28 decisions.
Thank you again for being part of this.
With gratitude and determination,
Kelly P. Marie
