Speaking of Community Organizers.....There seems to be quite a few different groups formed under Community Mobilization Program guidelines…… Check your favorite search engine with the term Community Mobilization Program and you will see things that will disturb you….the do disturb me too. These groups are under the Marxist umbrella, and do sound like things we've heard from our Administration… Here's one from Vancouver, Canada..... Upcoming Actions Slam the Gate on the G8! A Rally and March in Opposition to the G8/G20 Summits. **************************************** Saturday, June 26th, 2010 @ Noon Grandview Park (on Commercial Drive, between William and Charles St.) Bring noise makers, banners, and friends! ************************************** Come join us as we march in solidarity with the Toronto Community Mobilization Network to protest against the G8/G20 Summits. From June 25 to 27th, the so-called ‘leaders’ and bankers of the twenty richest countries are meeting in Huntsville and Toronto. At the Summits they will be discussing themes including the global economy, development and climate change in a closed door, unaccountable meeting. Let’s send a loud and clear message to the G8/G20 elite that we wholly reject their unaccountable meetings to further economic and social disparity, promote exploitation, profit, environmental degradation and colonization of the world’s resources. What are the G8 and G20 Summits? The G8 and G20 Summits are meetings of the heads of states, financial ministers and bankers of the richest countries in the world. The IMF and World Bank and other institutions are also present. A gathering of the world's richest industrialized countries, the extensively secured meetings are an attempt to further the ongoing exploitation of global communities and resources through the same policies, multilateral agreements, and wars that have resulted in the current financial crisis and ecological destruction of our planet. The G8 and G20 summits consistently push an agenda of neo-liberalism and structural adjustment programs commonly including: decreased trade barriers, the removal of labour and environmental protections, cut backs on social services, and the privatization of both resources and public sector services. They are meeting to make decisions that will result in more exploitation of people and the environment while ensuring that the systems that increase colonization, wars and displacement are maintained. Why Oppose the G8 and G20 Summits? As diverse communities from in and around the un-ceded Coast Salish Territories known as Vancouver, we reject both the institution of the G8/G20 and the ideology of neo-liberalism on which it is based. Neoliberal policies lead to increased corporate control, and to increased levels of inequality between the rich and the poor - both locally and internationally.** The so-called "world leaders" who led the world into one of the worst economic disasters of the last century have no right to make economic policy for the rest of us. Globally, economic inequality is greater today than it has ever been in the history of the world. We oppose the agenda of free trade, privatization and market deregulation that the G8/G20 stands for, seeing it as a tool to reinforce the colonial pattern of domination of the global south by the north and the vast discrepancies between the wealthiest and poorest people in the world.
