JOBS, JUSTICE, CLIMATE
The global financial and economic
system is in crisis. Existing policies and institutions
are reinforcing high levels of poverty and inequality
which is contributing to an environmental catastrophe.
It is time to Put People First...
In November, the G20
(twenty of the richest nations in the world) are
sending their Finance Ministers to St.Andrews to
decide on their solutions to the crisis. This is
a huge opportunity for us, the people of Scotland
and the wider UK, to stand up for billions: the
world cannot go back to business as usual. We must
put people first by delivering on jobs, justice
and climate. See
our Guide to Action (pdf)
The People's G20
Join in for a stunt on the beach,
speeches and stalls and afternoon events on positive
alternatives for a global economy.
Saturday 7 November, St
Andrews. Updates, travel information etc. at www.g20standrews.org
