Spokescouncil for 2010 Heart Attack in Vancouver, BC

Several anti-capitalist, anti-colonial groups and individuals are organizing a demo respecting the diversity of tactics on February 13th at 8:30am. Starting at Thorton Park, the theme is "2010 Heart Attack: Clog the Arteries of Capitalism", and is intended to disturb "business as usual" on the first day of the Olympic Games!

If you or your group wants to take an active role in Heart Attack, get in touch as soon as possible at 2010heartattack@resist.ca. The upcoming spokescouncil is RSVP with dates and location to be sent prior to the meet.

How many people should we send to the spokescouncil?
Its up to you, but keep in mind that you'll have to make decisions on the fly with little time for group discussion.

Are there any requirements?
We expect your group to have a collective position on how confrontational you want to be during the demonstration. We also expect that discussion or proposal of illegal acts remains between comrades and affinity groups in order to keep everyone safe.

What will be discussed and how much time should we plan?
We will be discussing a proper system to promote security during the meetings. We will also address a general strategy for the day, brainstorm action plans and whatever else is brought to the agenda. We will strive for consensus.

Should I contact you if I'm coming from out of town?
Yes! It is important for us to know when you are going to arrive so that we can include you in the latest meeting; to keep you up to date; and to help provide you with links and connections in the city. The earlier we hear from you, the better we can prepare for your arrival!

The Games are almost here - organize yourselves! Start now! Heart Attack 2010!
