Date: July 19, 2010
Time: 7pm- 9pm
Location: Buffalo State College. Bulger Communications Center West - 1300 Elmwood Ave., Buffalo, NY
This is a report back meeting from activists from Buffalo that went to attend the Peoples Summit, the popular alternative to the G8/G20, and participate in a Week of Action against G8/G20 policies.
In this global war on the people and our mother earth, we have to organize.
Come and hear the stories of activists and a join a robust discussion on alternatives to Globalization (such as the "Peoples Agreement" and the "Declaration on the Rights of Mother Earth": http://pwccc.
Food will be provided in a cool participatory space.
ATTENTION: Originally, this was just a report back but, given the circumstances I will have a collection tin at the event so if anyone would like to bring in a few bucks it would go a long way.

The G8/G20 meetings took place in Ontario from June 25-27, 2010. Toronto-based organizations of women, people of colour, indigenous peoples, the poor, the working class, queer and trans people and disabled people organized a peoples convergence with 40,000 people taking to the streets, standing up for justice in collaboration and solidarity!
Activists, community members, inspired and outraged individuals came together as a movement to demand justice for people and the planet. Over a week of mobilizations, events, workshops and direct actions took place in the face of state and police repression, violence and infringements on rights and freedoms.
We must continue to mobilize and build greater solidarity among our communities- an important part of this is supporting all those arrested during the G20 summit, including our allies still in detention, and those released on bail.
