Abstract
In 2008 a goup of volunteers came together to form a grassroots organization, No Games Chicago (www.nogameschicago.com) and we worked together to defeat Chicago’s Bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics. The story of what we did and why will be shared at the conference. The presenter’s book has been recently published by Rutledge Press, nogameschicagobook.com.
