Second Open Planning Meeting for G8/20 Summit

6:30pm
489 College Street, 3rd Floor
(Centre for Social Justice)

Community based organizers and activists from across Ontario and Quebec
are invited to an open planning meeting focusing on Toronto’s response to
the G8/20 Summits on Jan 19.

The Community Mobilization Network is organizing the community based
outreach, independent media, convergence and days of action leading up to
and during the G8/20 Summits in Ontario (June 25-27,2010)

Our approach is to ensure that long-term grassroots organizing in Toronto
remains at the forefront of mobilizations.

The meeting will include Action, Communication, Education/Outreach and
Logistics proposals leading up to and during the G8/20 and community
organizers and activists are encouraged to participate and shape the
mobilization.

People of color, indigenous peoples, women, the poor, the working class,
queer and trans people, disabled people, and artists are especially
encouraged to  attend.

Dec 23, 09 | Toronto Community Mobilization Network Communique
Six months to the 2010 G8/20 Summit

“AN INVITATION: FROM COPENHAGEN TO TORONTO”

The Group of 8 Leaders and the Group of 20 Leaders are meeting in Ontario,
from the 25th to the 27th of June, 2010.

Following the collapse of the Copenhagen Climate Summit, they will be
discussing the global economy, development and climate change.

These gatherings are about trying to fix capitalism, a system that cannot
be fixed; about creating unsustainable market responses to ecological
catastrophe that reinforce systems of oppressions; about ensuring the
continued exploitation of people of color and the South and about
celebrating war as a means to create puppet allies to maintain imperialist
power.  The so-called leaders at these gatherings do not represent us.

In opposition and with a will to transform, people across Turtle Island
are organizing community-based days of action in Toronto, Canada.  The
days of action will be led by Toronto-based organizations of people of
color, indigenous peoples, women, the poor, the working class, queer and
trans people and disabled people.

We will organize for these days of action by deepening our roots. With
sisters, brothers, friends and allies, we will shut down the places, the
systems and the ideas that exploit and exclude us.

In their place, we will creatively build the world we wish to live in. A
world with self-determination for indigenous peoples; climate justice;
income equity and community control over resources; migrant justice and an
end to war and occupation.

Change does not come from markets or from so-called negotiations with
so-called leaders. Change comes from people making decisions for
themselves. We call upon communities of resistance everywhere to continue
to build their local struggles.

Join us in Toronto in June 2010 to share your ideas and strategies!

On these days, we call for Days of Action across the world that showcases
solutions from the ground up.
