The coming Olympic Games in Los Angeles have been under a harsh spotlight, as LA28 head Casey Wasserman faces calls to resign over his recently released racy emails with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell and chatter around ICE agents operating at the Winter Games.

Now, a community organization is reiterating calls on Los Angeles elected officials to seriously consider canceling the Olympics altogether.

Strategic Actions for a Just Economy, or SAJE, issued a report Thursday focused on L.A.'s financial exposure as host city. The city and state of California are the financial guarantors for the Olympics, meaning if they go into the red, L.A. taxpayers will foot the bill.

“L.A. city leaders must put the option of cancellation on the table now,” Chris Tyler with SAJE wrote in the report. “They must urgently take up the work electeds failed to do in 2017, when they committed L.A. to hosting the Games without first having an informed, public conversation to weigh costs and benefits.”
