Under the slogan of „Growth and Responsibility“, Germany plays host, from June 6th to 8th, to the group of 8 (the 7 most powerful industrial nations plus Russia) in the small seaside resort of Heiligendamm.
The G8 are not the “Spider in the Net”, or the “Control Room” of “Rapacious Capitalism”. It has to be understood as a form in which capitalist society reflects itself in a political dimension. Read more >>

London Solidarity Protest Against G8 Repression

About 50 people gathered at the Kempinski Hotel in London on Friday, 11 May, to show their solidarity with the victims of the G8 raids in Germany last week, and to express their opposition to the G8, capitalism and all that [call]. Kempinski is the hotel group hosting the G8 Summit in Heiligendamm, Germany, next month.

The Met had 'designated' a pen on the opposite side of the street, but protesters refused to be penned in and stayed by the hotel, without entirely blocking the pavement. Some leaflets were given out and not much more happened.. well, apart from the FIT struggling to get good shots of people's faces.

Demonstration Friday 11 6pm London: Against The G8 and Police Repression

This morning (Wednesday May 9th) police raided about 40 buildings in Germany, including several social centres and private homes in Berlin and Hamburg, as well as the alternative web provider so36.net . Police forces searched the "Rote Flora" in Hamburg as well as parts of the "Bethanien" in Berlin. Both places are planning to be decentralised convergence centres for the G8 protests of early June.

We want to show solidarity with the German movement and express our right to protest against the upcoming G8 in June. We want to defy police repression and show we are not intimidated by it!

G8 UK NGO Campaign 'Your Voice Against Poverty' (london demo june 2nd)

After the Make Poverty History 2005 Scotland G8 campaign the uk NGOs are calling on people to protest in london on June 2nd ahead of the G8 summit in Germany.

http://www.yourvoiceagainstpoverty.org.uk

Meanwhile in Germany planning continues for massive protests and blockades of the summit. German NGOs have challenged the G8 on having done too little to meet the promises they made on poverty alleviation at the Gleneagles summit in 2005. This year's G8 falls mid-way in the period for the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and it's clear that countries are also a long way off from achieving these goals.
