Information, activism & resistance to U.S. militarism, war & corporate greed, linking with struggles against racism & oppression within the United States
The third G20 summit is going to be in Pittsburgh, Pa., on September 24 and 25, 2009. The
challenge before the movements for economic and social justice, as well as the antiwar movement,
is that the next meeting of the powers that govern the world economy be met with a powerful mass mobilization
demanding that jobs and social needs, and not war and greed, prevail--here in the U.S., and across the world.
