Indymedia: Why We Should Stop The G8 - Film And Discussion

-
Mon 15 April 2013 // 20:00

(Mon 15th April / 8pm / £4/3 but nobody turned away for lack of funds)
Organised jointly by Bristol anarchist book fair collective & Bristol Indymedia, an evening of speakers, images, film and discussion.

In 2013 Britain chairs the G8 group of powerful nations (plus the ECC), and hosts a summit of G8 leaders on 17 & 18 June in Northern Ireland. Other meetings focusing on specialities (finance, policing etc) take place
throughout the year. The G8 are in effect the unelected leaders and managers of the world economy, wielding massive power, and deciding what they can get away with in terms of making the majority pay for the crisis of capitalism. But whenever or wherever they meet they face opposition, which is one reason their summits occur in out of the way places!

Tonight we will look back at the work of the Bristol Dissent (anti-G8) Group in 2005; consider the role of the G8; and hear about what opposition is planned by the Stop G8 Network for 2013.
