From Protest to Resistance: A Report on the Campaign Against the 2010 Winter Olympics 2002-2010 by Zig Zag

From 2002 to 2010, an anti-Olympic protest and resistance movement emerged in and around
Vancouver, British Columbia, developing also into a national network.
The campaign extended over several years and involved numerous activities, ranging from
direct action to producing videos, speaking tours, newsletters, conferences, workshops, etc. Over 30
public direct actions, including squats, disruption of events, and blockades, occured. Over 60
clandestine acts of vandalism and sabotage were carried out. Over 80 arrests occurred in Vancouver
and other cities from 2006-2010 (mostly from public direct actions). Some 27 additional arrests
occurred during the Olympic Games themselves (Feb 12-28, 2010).
