Community Planning Meeting to Mobilize Against the G8 & G20

When: Wed. May 12th, 7-9pm

Where: Sadleir House

This summer Ontario will host meetings for both the G8 (Group of Eight) and G20 (Group of Twenty Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors) in Huntsville and Toronto respectively on the weekend of June 25 to 27th, 2010.

The G8 and G20 nations comprise only a small percentage of the world population and these meetings of the wealthiest nations are sites of economic and political strategizing and policy-making that impact the whole world.

The Toronto Community Mobilization Network has invited people ‘from Copenhagen to Toronto’ to participate in community-based resistance to the G8 and G20. May 12th, 2010 will be an opportunity for Peterborough to come together to plan how our community can answer this invitation.

Come to Sadleir House at 7pm on May 12th, 2010. Individuals and groups are welcome. Bring ideas about what you’d like to see happen, what kind of resources can you or your group contribute, etc. If you haven’t had time to reflect on this in advance, don’t let this stop you, your interest alone is enough to justify your attendance!
