The Olympics are gone, but Resistance is still here. Come celebrate with us!
 
The UBC Social Justice Centre sponsors one in a series of events to raise funds for Solidarity with Anti-Olympics Convergence Arrestees (SACA). This will be a Mixed Methods concert featuring local Hip-Hop luminaries and Grunge-Punk heavys. 

SACA is a group of arrestees, detainees, defendants and their supporters whose court battles have just begun. They are not criminals, but have been targeted by cops for anti-poverty activism related to the anti-Olympics Convergence. We are asking for your support to continue to fight bogus and trumped up charges while spotlighting police repression in our community. 

We are honored to bring you an anti-repression/pro-rebellion lineup of dedicated artists who are volunteering their time and energy for a show originally billed as 'F@(% the Police!'
