G20 Protest (and Altern­at­ives!) Organ­ising Meeting
Sat­urday Jan. 14, 2:00pm – 4:00pm
Upstairs meet­ing room at Friends of the Earth, 312 Smith St (cnr Perry St)
Collingwood
The next global meet­ing of fin­ance min­is­ters, reserve bank gov­ern­ers and the
heads of the World Bank and IMF will occur in Mel­bourne on Novem­ber 18–19. The
G20 (see http://​www​.g20​.org) is a forum for eco­nomic and fin­an­cial lead­ers in
the world’s 20 largest eco­nom­ies to con­tinue and accel­er­ate neo­lib­eral policies
on a global scale, includ­ing trade lib­er­al­isa­tion, privat­isa­tion, and corporate
con­trol over work­ers, women, Indi­gen­ous peoples, farm­ers, stu­dents and the
major­ity of the world’s people who seek an eco­lo­gic­ally sus­tain­able and just
future for local com­munit­ies and for the planet. Come on Janu­ary 14th to learn
more about the G20, and to dis­cuss vari­ous issues involved in organising
protest activ­it­ies and in present­ing pos­it­ive altern­at­ives. The meet­ing will be
facil­it­ated by the Reclaim Glob­al­isa­tion col­lect­ive, Friends of the Earth.
