25-27 June 2010: DAYS OF ACTION
In opposition to the G8/20 and with a will to transform, people across
Turtle Island are organizing community-based days of action in Toronto,
Canada. The days of action will be led by Toronto-based organizations of
people of color, indigenous peoples, women, the poor, the working class,
queer and trans people and disAbled people.
We will organize for these days of action by deepening our roots. With
sisters, brothers, friends and allies, we will shut down the places, the
systems and the ideas that exploit and exclude us.
In their place, we will creatively build the world we wish to live in. A
world with
~ self-determination for indigenous peoples
~ climate justice
~ income equity and community control over resources
~ migrant justice and an end to war and occupation
Proposed Days (subject to change)
25 June:
Community Organizations Day of Action (Yellow)
followed by Open Space for Actions (Red, Yellow or Green)
26 June:
Family Friendly March/Rally (Green)
followed by Open Space for Actions (Red, Yellow or Green)

ideas. If your organization, community or group wants to organize on one
