The People Power Hour welcomes Chris Lopez, a leader with Decarcerate KC, to talk about the so-called World Cup prison, and Tiago Donato, a leader with KC Tenants who is from Rio de Janeiro and was involved in some of the organizing that was happening in that city ahead of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics.
