Bay Area independent journalists to cover demonstrations at 2010 Olympic games

by friendly fire collective
Three Bay Area independent journalists are traveling up to Vancouver for the first week of the Olympic games to cover the demonstrations and will be blogging daily about their experiences.

The mobilization against the games has been going on for more than 4 years now and is about to culminate in the demonstrations coinciding with the opening ceremonies. Planned activities include marches, conferences, rallies and days of autonomous direct action. The demonstrations against the games have in a large part manifested as a result of the mistreatment of homeless people in the city of Vancouver, the seizing of unceded native lands for use in the games, the logging of some of British Columbia's forests for new roads for the games, as well as a host of other issues. See http://www.no2010.com for more information.

We'll be blogging on our website at friendlyfirecollective.info/2010/ as well as on Indybay.
