LOS ANGELES, CA – Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez issued the following statement calling for a change in LA28 leadership:
“The Olympic & Paralympic Games represent both a tremendous opportunity and enormous responsibility, requiring us to be credible stewards of games that unite, inspire and represent the best of humanity. These are not empty ideals. The failure to complete a robust Human Rights plan, coupled with the revelations from the newly released Epstein files, makes clear that no one associated with Epstein and his associates can provide credible leadership in the planning of these games, which now includes Casey Wasserman.”
