FIRST:
PROTEST THE G20 SUMMIT IN NEW YORK CITY!
Saturday, September. 19 & Sunday, September 20, 2009
(tentative dates)
ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE–
BUT WE MUST FIGHT FOR IT!
Bail Out People - Not Banks
Money for Social Needs - Not War and Greed
Jobs, Housing, Healthcare & Education are a Right
Organize - Mobilize - Resist - Unite - Fight Back!
The third G20 summit is going to be in NYC on or around September 20,
2009. The G20 summits are taking place in response to the greatest worldwide
economic crisis since the 1930s. However, the purpose of these high-level
meetings of governments and bankers is not to rescue the people of the
world from depression level unemployment, evictions, homelessness, poverty,
social and economic inequality and war. These summits are about fixing
the economic and financial order that puts profits before people-and
fixing that system by creating more poverty, misery and suffering.
The last G20 Summit held in London in early April was met with massive
protests both in London and throughout Europe.
Now that the G20 is coming to the U.S., it is up to activists and organizations
here to take up the challenge of uniting and working together to organize
the widest protests possible. BOPM urges activists and organizations
to endorse the call for protest at the G20 Summit in the fall, and to
begin organizing for it. The potential for mass mobilization in September
is truly infinite. So let’s begin the work required to realize that
powerful potential.
SECOND:
THE BAIL OUT THE PEOPLE MOVEMENT INVITES YOU
TO A
PEOPLE’S ECONOMIC SUMMIT IN NEW YORK CITY - SUNDAY MAY 31
(In conjunction with the UN Summit on the World Economic Crisis, June
1-3 in New York City)
People's Economic Summit
Starting Time - 11:00 am (tentative)
Inside the People's Summit Tent
in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, 47th St. & 1st Ave.
From June 1–3, The General Assembly of the UN will hold a summit on
the world economic crisis in NYC. The UN is holding its own economic
summit out of the concern that the 192 member nations of the UN are
being marginalized by the G20 summit meetings.
In conjunction with this meeting, on Sunday May 31, the Bail Out the
People Movement will hold a people’s summit on
the world economic crisis in NYC outside the UN under a large tent in
Dag Hammarskjold Plaza.
Come to the PEOPLE’S ECONOMIC SUMMIT–Share information and insight
on how the economic is affecting poor and working people all over the
U.S. and all over the world. Participate in panels and workshops. Help
formulate a vision for a future free of social and economic inequality
and injustice. Help plan the fight to make that vision a reality.
Planning for the G20 summit meeting in NYC in September, and forming
the structures that will make organizing for the G20 inclusive and effective,
will be high on the list of priorities at the People’s Economic Summit.
THIRD:
Come to the:
PEOPLE’S SUMMIT & TENT CITY:
PROTEST THE “NATIONAL BIG BUSINESS SUMMIT”
JUNE 14-17, 2009
GRAND CIRCUS PARK, DETROIT, MICHIGAN
Four Days of Active Resistance, Political Discussion and Strategizing
for a “People's Stimulus Plans” and an “Economic Bill of Rights” for
Working People and the Poor
On June 15-17, 2009, the National Business Summit, sponsored by the
Detroit Economic Club, will take place at Ford Field. Millionaire capitalists
like the heads of Conoco-Phillips, Dow Chemical, General Motors, Chrysler,
Humana Inc., Ascension Health, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, BNSF Railway
Co., and PVS Chemicals, as well as the presidents of the National Council
on Competitiveness and U.S. Chamber of Commerce, will gather at this
summit. President Barack Obama and cabinet members have been invited.
These wealthy businessmen (yes, almost all of them are rich white men)
will put their greedy heads together to discuss “innovation and policy
ideas in technology, energy, environment and manufacturing.” In other
words, they will be strategizing on how to further increase their profits
at the expense of the ever-shrinking middle class, the vast working
class and the growing millions living in utter poverty.
The National Business Summit will be held in a city with record-high
unemployment and poverty rates, lay-offs, budget cuts, school closings,
utility rate hikes and shut-offs and massive home foreclosures. With
a registration fee of $1,495, it is unlikely that any victims of foreclosures
and evictions, let alone laid-off workers, will be able to attend the
National Business Summit. No one at this event will be speaking in the
interests of those most affected by the economic collapse.
The People’s Summit will be a dynamic event. During the People’s Summit,
organizers will implement a moratorium on
foreclosure evictions by going into the neighborhoods and supporting
homeowners who are willing to confront the bailiffs. If there is a strike,
demonstration or sit-in, the People’s Summit will join it. The People’s
Summit will confront the big-business CEOs and politicians gathering
next door. Join us!
