The Discrimination Playbook: Hiding and Arresting Poverty in San Jose for the Super Bowl and World Cup

Welcome to the De-Bug the System Podcast!

This episode "The Discrimination Playbook: Hiding and Arresting Poverty in San Jose for the Super Bowl & World Cup" dives into what the Super Bowl and World Cup coming to the Bay Area means for the most vulnerable in San Jose in 2026. We reflect on San Jose's iteration of the common-used playbook that uses public resources and police to hide and arrest poverty locally for the up-scale appearance for our wealthy guests coming to town. We are in solidarity with all the local communities that experience the force and cruelty that is paired with international sporting events and reflect on how we, in San Jose, are going to protect our people.
