No Olympics!
Mobilization Against the 2010 Olympic Bid!

Wednesday March 5, 2003 @ 4pm
Rally @ Art Gallery (Robson St. Side)

March and Rally to Demand:
1) Immediate End to the Disability Review Process
2) Restore Funding to Social Housing
3) End the 3 Week Wait and Reverse Welfare Cuts
4) No Olympics on Stolen Native Land

Gordon and Larry Campbell want you to believe the Olympics would be
good for our province, city and communities.  The truth is the Olympic
dream is for the few wealthy developers, business owners and
politicians which profit from the Olympics.

The rest of us are faced with the nightmare of increased rents and
evictions, theft and exploitation of indigenous land, and billions of
dollars of public funding put towards a corporate sporting event rather
than much needed housing, health care and social services.  The
International Olympic Committee (IOC) is in town.  Let's tell them what
we think of their games.
