By Dani J. Farrell [Excerpts] https://www.blackandpink.org/montana-supreme-court-blocks-anti-trans-id-restrictions/ This month, the Montana Supreme Court upheld protections for transgender people seeking accurate identity documents, blocking the state from enforcing policies that prevented trans people from updating gender markers on birth certificates and other forms of identification. While many headlines framed this as simply another “trans rights case,” what happened in Montana is much bigger than that. The court recognized something many politicians have spent years [...]

Welcome to the 2nd Quarter of the 21st Century!

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action Los Angeles (ARA-LA/PART) A "year in review" summary, as has been traditional in the January issue of Change Links annually, would recapitulate the horrors of the first year of Trump II, with which we are all too achingly familiar. I am instead going to take a longer view, and look back over the past quarter-century to see what got us into this deepening political, moral, economic and [...]

Olympics 2028: Point/Counterpoint – NOlympics LA

Olympic Reform Efforts Are Setting Us Up for a Double Disaster by the NOlympicsLA Coalition https://nolympicsla.com/2025/11/11/fighting-the-forever-games/ The Olympics have always been sold as temporary — a two-week spectacle of worldwide unity and athletic exceptionalism that brings honor (and infrastructure) to its rotating host city. With LA28 now less than 1,000 days away, the myth of Olympic legacy is breaking down, with reform campaigns multiplying and officials scrambling to make word salad slide [...]

NOlympics LA Coalition Forming

We don't support the LA 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games bid because an Olympics in LA—regardless of how “successfully” it's executed—will be disastrous for Angelenos across the city. Despite any good intentions, the International Olympics Committee (IOC) is one of the least transparent and most corrupt institutions in the world. Their goal is to turn a profit at all cost. If LA hosts the Olympics, it will be a wide-reaching, destructive party [...]
