'Our main goal is to be the voice of opposition, to disrupt the Games with a message of resistance and the true social impacts,' said Anna Hunter, an organizer with the Olympic Resistance Network, a consortium of groups behind a 'Take Back Our City' march planned for Friday. The protesters are railing against everything from the cost of the Olympics to tight security. 'The ORN believes in a diversity of tactics and strategies.'
