Why are people opposing the G8 and G20? What groups are involved? What was the Peopleâs Summit, and why is it important? In this first of five daily podcasts, we hear from the Toronto Community Mobilization Network, Ontario Coalition Against Poverty, the Canadian Peace Alliance, the Peopleâs Summit, and volunteers.
The Group of 8 Leaders and the Group of 20 Leaders are meeting in Ontario, from the 25th to the 27th of June, 2010. Organizations of women, people of colour, indigenous peoples, the poor, the working class, queer and trans people and disabled people are organizing a peopleâs convergence, and calling for a disruption of the summit. Programmers from CKDU, CKLN, CKUT, CHRY and other stations will be collaborating to produce daily 10 minute podcasts from June 21 to June 25 to air on campus/community radio stations across the country.
