DESCRIPTION:Why Oppose the 2010 Olympic Games\n\nTuesday Jan 19, 2010 @ 7 pm\nEastside 
 Arts Alliance, 2277 International Blvd, Oakland\n\nSuggested donation: 
 $5-10 sliding scale\n(no one will be turned away for lack of funds)\n\nCo 
 hosted by: EastSide Arts Alliance and Chiapas Support Committee.\n\nAs part 
 of a provincial and west coast speaking tour, an Indigenous activist from 
 “Canada” will be speaking about the impacts of the upcoming Olympic 
 Games, particularly on Indigenous peoples. Join us in an event to learn 
 more about why opposition to the Games is growing and how you 
 can\nparticipate in and support the resistance and 
 Indigenous\nself-determination.\n\nThe 2010 Winter Olympics will take place 
 on unceded Indigenous land. Far from being simply about sport, the history 
 of the Olympics is one rooted in displacement, corporate greed, and 
 repression. As Olympic promoters and\nsponsors seek to present their 
 sanitized corporate brand image to the world, the real impacts of the Games 
 are apparent to everyone:\n\n* Expansion of sport tourism on Indigenous 
 lands\n* Increasing homelessness across the province and especially in 
 Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside\n* Misdirected public spending and debt 
 totaling $6 billion while public services are suffering cutbacks\n* Threats 
 to basic civil liberties and free speech\n* Union-busting and vulnerable 
 working conditions for migrant labour\n* Unprecedented destruction of the 
 environment\n* Unparalleled $1 billion police and security spending.\n\n
