The G8/G20 mobilizations are being organized by a decentralized network with limited resources and require everyone's participation.
The Network encourages community organizations, activist groups and concerned individuals to develop flyers, videos, and blogs about why G8/G20 resistance is important to them and share them broadly.
The Network has prepared a simple text based double-sided flyer that can be printed and distributed broadly (attached). If you are organizing events or attending them, please distribute these materials.
A Sign-Up sheet is also attached that can be used at events. Please type up the names you receive and forward them to community.mobilize@resist.ca
Posters are available at http://www.flickr.com/photos/g8g20torontomobilization/. If you would like a hi-resolution file, please email beedot@beehivecollective.org
All these materials will be available at http://g20.torontomobilize.org shortly.
