Thanks to the folks at the Mormon Worker, I have been updatde about the Olympic Resistance movement, which is anti-imperialist and anti- corporatist in nature from what I understand.
As an update to my last post Untold Stories from the Winter Olympics, I wanted to link to Democracy Now’s coverage of Olympic Resistance as an anti-poverty movement, thanks in part to Franklin Lopez of Vancouver’s Media Co-Op.
Also, the Student Christian Movement of Canada has been updating its audience about protests for homes, not games.
You can see that here at this link: Student Christian Movement at York University: SCM York joins SCM UBC, Indigenous and Anti-Poverty activists calling for Homes Not Games and No Olympics on Stolen Native Land!
I hope these groups make themselves to be proper martyrs (martyr is the greek word for witness, not someone on a suicide mission) by bringing down nationalism and imperialism.
Truth and Peace,
Rod
