Friday 4 September 2009
10am-6pm, Central London
This autumn the G20 is back. On Friday 4 September, the G20 Finance Ministers are meeting in London to discuss the financial crisis, for the first time since April’s G20 summit. So far they’ve flunked the challenge of putting people first in response to the financial crisis, preferring instead to patch up the old system that has led to poverty, inequality and the threat of climate chaos.
Join us in central London to tell the G20: No More Business As Usual.
We’ll be demanding action on jobs, justice and climate, learning more about some of the key institutions behind the crisis, and discussing what’s next for Put People First campaigning.
10.30am-11.15am: A media stunt at which 20 powerful world leaders will carry a throne of money through the City of London. Campaigners will tell them that it’s time to put people before money. Location Lloyds Building, Leadenhall St.
11.15am-1pm: A walking tour of companies and institutions that have contributed to the economic crisis. Activists will meet at Liverpool Street (outside the rail station next to the McDonalds).
2pm-6pm: International speakers and a worker from the Vestas wind turbine plant will address a conference of activists from across the UK. The Woolfson Theatre, London School of Economics.
