ANTI-CAPITALIST CONVERGENCE 2010
Against the crisis here! Against the crisis everywhere! Let’s unite!
ATTACK THE G20 – TORONTO, JUNE 25-26-27 2010
Montreal, February 2010 – We won’t pay for their crisis! A new anti-capitalist alliance calls for mobilization against the “Group of 20 (G20)” summit attended by leaders of the planet’s 20 largest economies next June 25, 26 and 27.
Under the auspices of this type of criminal institution, the rulers of this world decide how to perpetuate the current system of economic and political domination to benefit a handful of rich bankers, financiers, businessmen and politicians, all over a few bites of caviar. In the meanwhile, they keep exploiting and starving the remaining 99 percent of humanity, repressing populations and groups that resist, destroying millions of lives with impunity and devastating the planet.
In Canada, various governments have taken advantage of the economic crisis to further slash social programs, to raise user fees, to transfer the burden of unpaid work to women and to make the poor and the working class pay for the debts that they’ve incurred by handing out subsidies to businesses, whose bosses have been stuffin their pockets laughing. As thousands of workers lose their jobs or their pensions, as women and undocumented migrants are pushed further into precariousness, as hundreds of migrants live in fear of repression and deportation, the ruling class still goes out of its way to convince the populace that it has some sacrifices left to make!
A people’s anti-capitalist convergence was born in Montreal in January 2010 to fight back against this new attack by governments, who were quick to take advantage of the ruling class’ economic blunders to further impoverish us. This May 1st, for the third consecutive year, a large anti-capitalist demonstration will be organized in Montreal for International Workers’ Day. This convergence of anti-capitalist groups and individuals has also decided to respond favourably to the call-out sent by activists in Toronto, and to organize resistance to the corrupt capitalists and politicians of this world who are set to meet during the G20 summit next June 25, 26 and 27 in Toronto.
An important mobilization and awareness-raising campaign will be organized by June 2010 against the social, economic and environmental crises we are burdened with from the local to the international level. Let’s attack the G20, but first and foremost, let’s unite to build strong links between the multiple struggles that our groups fight on a daily basis against capitalism, patriarchy, colonialism and all forms of oppression!
We ask all groups and individuals who are interested in supporting or getting involved in this campaign to attend the next ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING which will take place on TUSDAY, JUNE 1st @ 6pm at UQAM, pavillon de gestion, room DS-1520
This call-out is the initiative of activists from differeny groups affiliated with the PGA (Peoples’ Global Action) Bloc in Montreal. The convergence, as well as the meetings and organization of this anti-capitalist campaign, are based on the PGA’s founding principles and respect an anti-authoritarian organizational model – groups and individuals who join us must respect these principles.
