Boston’s bid for the 2024 Olympics was scuppered by the organizing of No Boston Olympics and No Boston 2024.
The resistance
No Boston Olympics — “an ad hoc, underfunded group of diverse and engaged citizens” who “joined together to challenge and ultimately derail Boston’s boosters, the USOC, and the IOC.”
No Boston 2024 — “a network of activists committed to fighting Boston’s bid for the 2024 Olympics.”
