BC Premier Gordon Campbell's Office Attacked by Anti-Poverty Committee

On Thursday, [February 21] at 1:30 p.m. the office of [B.C. Premier] Gordon Campbell was attacked by members of the Anti-Poverty Committee.

Gallons of paint in the colors of the Olympic rings where thrown throughout the office, both inside and out. No one was arrested.

The demands were pasted to the window, calling for the budget surplus to be spent on social housing, rent reparations, community centers, and tuition.

The Anti-Poverty Committee has recently announced, following the defacement of the [2010 Vancouver Winter] Olympic clock, an escalating campaign targeting the Liberals and Olympic organizers. The protesters vow that more actions have been organized and will be carried out over the next few weeks.

Video footage of the action was taken by activists on site and is making the rounds [through] the corporate media.
