Anarchist Olympics

The Mobilization against Chevron is also occurring on this day....

people from all over the region are going to Richmond to stand in solidarity with those who's lives are wrecked by Chevron and UA is having the anarchist olympics. really? no shit?

Seriously, really? no way, you are kidding, In richmond, are you making a friendly invite or just being well you know what do people call it, oh yeah snide?
I can hardly image that there are two events in the bay area on the same day, what is happening here? How can this be? No one checked with the central committee, I am really upset at both of you groups. I propose that both events be cancelled and we lick our wounds and think about how to communicate better.

Originally, the Mobililization for Climate Justice planned to have a week long Climate Camp during the week of August 17th leading to an action on the weekend of August 22nd. Long ago, UA in the Bay originally scheduled the Anarchist Olympics around this event to avoid scheduling conflicts and complement the camp. Unfortunately the Mobilization for Climate justice had to move the Climate Camp dates and in the shuffle moved their first action date to August 15th.

We wish good luck and send warm thoughts to everyone involved in the Mobilization for Climate Justice=> Richmond Chevron action, as the campaign is important, and the opponent vile.

This looks tight. I've been hearing some about the workshops and speakers and it sounds like this is gonna be hella fun and mad informative. It'll be nice to see the bay milieu in a non-stressful situation. Mad props to UA for organizing this, we need more educational and social events like this.

UA could of coordnated this on another day. The Richmond protest could probably of used the people that are going to be attending the Olympics. Also, I can't tell if this is serious street trainings in tactics or just fun and games. Better figure it out before the next big protest or action, UA.

Hey autonomous individual from Richmond,

What's up with your little Rick Ashley virus link. You call the other person a troll, but it seems that you are the one being malicious. I had to re-start my computer and had to re-type something I was woking on a word document because of your little stunt. I don't even know what the hell your problem is anyways, it seems that persons complaint that you were addressing seemed somewhat legit. Alot of people commenting on here said that it was poor planning in considing with the Richmond protest. Do you really live in Richmond anyways? Asshole.

That comment needs to be removed. It has a link to a virus that you can't get out of without turning off your computer.

there was no reason to put a virus link on that comment page like that one fool did. Everybody who got click on that link was caught on there. Thanks for removing it.

I ended up with trojan viruses after clicking on the link. Trojan viruses will attempt to steal passwords by copying its body to the current user's startup directory. The person who I think is a troll here is that prick who put the link on there.

It's the only way
