[antiwar-van] Reminder: Oct 23 Anti-Olympics Extravaganza

[Harsha W.]

*ANTI-OLYMPICS EXTRAVAGANZA!**

The Vancouver-Whistler 2010 Winter Olympics are just around the corner,
it’s time to take some action!

**Where: * Rhizome Café 317 East Broadway
**When: * Friday October 23, 2009 6:30 pm*
**What:**

1) Get informed: Sudbury-based sociologist and author GARY KINSMAN speaks
on national security and queer resistance to the Olympics, LINDSAY
BOMBERRY (Onondaga Nation, Eel clan of the Haudenosaune Confederacy League
of Peace) will talk about Indigenous opposition to the Olympics.

2) Get inspired: Local multi-talented Nuxalk and Cayuga mc JB THE FIRST
LADY and one of the Pacific Northwest's most conscious and fierce MC's
KHINGZ - who has shared the stage with hip hop greats Talib Kweli, Lupe
Fiasco and K’naan- will share their skills and get you pumped for
resistance.

3) Get expressive: Share your thoughts about the Olympics and its effects
at the Anti-Olympics Speaker’s Corner. The Olympic Resistance Network
Media Committee and the Vancouver Media Co-op will be recording your
opinions, rants, and ideas.

4) Get to action: Take part in the Anti-Olympics treasure hunt. Grab a bag
full of materials and head to the streets to document and express your
opposition to the games.

5) Share your actions: Come to Rhizome for a followup event(details to
come soon!) to collect prizes from the treasure hunt, make a collage of
your actions and watch the video from the anti-olympics speaker's corner.

The Olympics are not going away. The devastating effects are here. But we
can still very loudly say: *No Olympics on Stolen Native Land!*
