* Presentations and short updates about the Olympic impact on
Skwxwú7mesh-ulh (Squamish) lands; gentrification in the Downtown
Eastside; and repressive border and national security policies.

*Participate in a meeting to organize our collective resistance to the
2010 Olympics.

This meeting is being called under the slogan of "No Olympics on Stolen
Native Land". All community members, individuals, and groups are welcome
to attend. In particular, we encourage  allies active in various groups
and movements to send delegates to further strengthen our alliances across
diverse struggles.

We hope to continue to build on the diverse efforts to oppose the Olympics
and its impacts and request that people come with concrete thoughts and
proposals for actions, educational efforts, creative resistance, awareness
raising etc to undertake.

We also look forward to working together across our diverse experiences
and movements, while sharing a common understanding including an
anti-colonial and anti-capitalist analysis; respect for diversity of
tactics and strategies; an anti-oppression understanding and solidarity
with those most directly affected; and an organizational philosophy based
on decentralization and autonomy.

For more questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch and please do
RSVP if you plan to attend so we can ensure adequate arrangements for
food.
