For the people and for Los Angeles

Mission

The Olympics belong to the people of the city that hosts them. Our mission is to make Olympic planning accessible, transparent, and participatory by providing Angelenos with the information and tools to understand decisions, engage with decision-makers, and share their perspectives.

Purpose

The Olympics will leave a lasting mark on Los Angeles, shaping neighborhoods, infrastructure, public spaces, and the lives of residents long after the Games end. Our purpose is to help ensure that those changes reflect the people who live here. We connect Angelenos with the context, perspectives, and civic resources needed to understand how the Games are shaping their communities and to play a meaningful role in shaping what comes next.
