COUNTER OLYMPICS NETWORK (CON)
The Counter Olympics Network (CON) is a network of groups and individuals who have come together to organise against the London Olympics. Our aim is to use the spectacle of the Olympics to strengthen existing organising on issues such as housing privatisation, surveillance health and food both locally and globally. We want to highlight the unique problems that the Olympics bring to London and how and how it affects struggles more generally. We want to use the Olympics to our advantage, not by buying a ticket or buying into the false legacy promises, but by using this opportunity to bring together people affected by the games.
We are working on questions like:
How can local communities resist and respond to the impact of the games, both in the short and long term?
