Games Over! Resistance Lives!
*Celebrating Unity & Solidarity*

*Sunday FEB 28th, 2010  1PM
Smithe and Cambie*

Bring the NOISE! Pots, pans, drums and noisemakers welcome! Join us in a 
noisy public festival to celebrate our communities and our resistance.

Our struggles for justice as indigenous, migrant, poor, working class 
and queer communities existed before the games and will exist after. The 
games have also provided a spark that we hope will inspire all affected 
communities to bind together in our coming  struggles to attain justice.

These were not the greenest games - they were the corporate greenwash 
games. They were not the socially responsible games - homelessness 
tripled as billions were spent on highways and convention centers for 
the rich.  And these games occurred on un-ceded territories where the 
indigenous communities continue to be on the front lines defending lands 
from industrial expansion.

In the coming budget BC residents likely see massive cuts to healthcare, 
education, affordable housing, public transit, sports and recreation, 
and other priorities.  While the IOC, VANOC and the games will be gone, 
we are still here!

*Solidarity & Unity! 
The resistance will continue!
Join us and let's make some NOISE!*
