G20: No more business as usual
Put People First Campaigning Day
Friday 4 September 2009 | 10am-6pm | Central London
This autumn the G20 is back. On Friday 4 September, the G20 Finance Ministers are meeting in London to discuss the financial crisis, for the first time since April's G20 summit. So far they've flunked the challenge of putting people first in response to the financial crisis, preferring instead to patch up the old system that has led to poverty, inequality and the threat of climate chaos.
Join us in central London to tell the G20: No More Business As Usual. We'll be demanding action on jobs, justice and climate, learning more about some of the key institutions behind the crisis, and discussing what's next for Put People First campaigning.
- 10.30am-11.15am: Put People First stunt targeting the Finance Ministers - bring your jobs, justice and climate banners (outside the Aviva building on the junction of Leadenhall Street and St Mary Axe, London EC3P 3DQ)
- 11.30am-1pm: A walking tour of companies and institutions that have contributed to the economic crisis. Meet at 50 Liverpool Street, London EC2M 7PD, outside the rail station and next to McDonalds
- 2pm-6pm: An afternoon of talks and discussion at the London School of Economics, taking place in the Wolfson Theatre
