Kick off the Convergence week at the 2010 Olympic Resistance Summit!
**************************************************
February 10th and 11th, noon to 10pm
East Vancouver, Unceded Coast Salish Territories.
The 2010 Olympics Resistance SUMMIT is a space for all anti-capitalist, indigenous, housing rights, labour, migrant justice, environmental, anti-war, community-loving, anti-poverty, civil libertarian, and anti colonial activists to come together to confront this two-week circus and the oppression it represents. During these 2 days we will organize, prepare, learn and unite to create a convergence against the 2010 Olympic Games! The schedule of workshops, panels, and other activities is posted below. For more complete descriptions of each activity, please visit www.olympicresistance.net.
