Power to the People

G20 'Put People First' march

Join the march to 'Put People First' - London 28 March

This Saturday sees the unions and activits calling on people to march through London as part of a global campaign to challenge the G20, ahead of their 2 April summit on the global financial crisis. Even before the banking collapse, the world suffered poverty, inequality and the threat of climate chaos. The world has followed a financial model that has created an economy fuelled by ever-increasing debt, both financial and environmental. Our future depends on creating an economy based on fair distribution of wealth, decent jobs for all and a low carbon future. There can be no going back to business as usual.

People from all over the country will join the march on March 28.

'Put People First' is a broad alliance of unions, development and environmental organisations and faith groups calling for the G20 to create an economy based on fair distribution of wealth, decent jobs for all and a low carbon world.

great ideal...

sadly I'm a cynic... nothing will change, those that can make the change are those that benefit from the system as it is.

Sorry a long time ago I was very active on things I thought important,but I got very disillusioned by it all as time went by

Furtheron, I go through times of cynicism too and can understand where you're coming from for sure but then I have to remind myself that people have been doing this for a long time and if we don't continue to show our concerns etc, then we're living in a society that begins to challenge nothing..

Daniel, yeah, let's see what the day brings.
