G8: Summat for the Summit

Squatticus | 08.02.2005 19:00 | G8 2005 | Anti-militarism | Globalisation | Social Struggles

The G8-summit is coming to Britain in July. This is going to be a big event. We need to organise now.

Summat for the Summit aims to build a network of Manchester people interested in opposing the G8, and raising awareness of it. We want to work within the wider Dissent! network.

Come along and find out more, and bring your own ideas (very welcome, but far from obligatory!).

There will be a report back of preparations in Scotland, a couple of short films, and a ample opportunity to mingle, ask questions, and inform others.

Thursday 10th February, 7.30pm
Council Chamber, Manchester Uni Students Union

Further info:
Groups wishing to have a stall can phone/text 07960 890758. (Or turn up on the night, but space is somewhat limited, and a first-come-first-served system will operate).

Transport from Manchester

There will be at least one bus from Manchester to Scotland for the Faslane G8 action which is happening on the 4th July. The website should be updated soon with regional contacts. www.faslaneg8.com

For more info on the Manchester bus, it's being organised by Manchester CND Group (I think?) so you could contact them via www.cnduk.org

Well, not for sale actually. Our local group had a 2-minute brainstorm about what to call our 'Fix Shit Up' efforts, given that that title might not be the best recruiting tool in engaging with a wide range of people (i.e. FoE-type greenies, estate kids, council?), and came up with:
CRE8 SUMMAT NOT G8 SUMMIT!
Feel free to nick our wonderful idea....

*cringe* at the thought of world bank reps trying to read it

Old World Bank Wanker: "by jingo! is that the opposition?"

Young World Bank Wanker: "yes, sir"

Old WB: "well dear boy, maybe we should return some money to the pre-schools literacy project"

Young WB: "very well, sir"

lets show them we mean bussiness [is war!!]
