Disrupt the G8
Information on G8 protesting
Come to Calgary, Canada to protest the G8.
Calgary is the largest city close to the G8 Summit occurring June 26th and 27th in Kananaskis. Calgary is the city where most of the G8 delegates will be staying during the Summit. Calgary is also the centre of the Canadian oil industry and as such is the headquarters for countless oil and communications corporations. Because of this, G8 activists are planning many events for Calgary to disrupt the G8. Here are some of them:
June 23rd - Community Solidarity March. This is a peaceful march organised by labour and community groups meant to give everyone a chance to oppose the G8 in a peaceful, safe and inclusive way.
June 25th - March and Street Party. A march meant to facilitate having a party in the streets.
June 26th - Disrupt the downtown. A five-prong march to block off traffic and shut down the business district. Moving blockades will be used to stop anyone from entering the downtown core.
June 26th - Die-in for Life. An action to remind people that thousands of people die every day as a result of the inequalities caused by the G8. This action will use street theatre, artistic components and direct action to show solidarity with the oppressed.

I hoping to read the usual stale cliches of how capitalism exploits people and creates poverty. Why don't you people EVER march against North Korea or anything that really threatens lives?
It sounds simple-minded: you can't stand to see people earn money, so you want to block the streets, and start whining when the police push you back.

i suggest we have a vigil to pray the fbi cia continue to catch more of these devils plotting to explode dirty bombs....think of what it would be like in sf if one of these bombs went off......
WE MUST DO SOMETHING TO STOP THE MURDER OF CHILDREN BY PALES. SUICIDE MARTYR GOONS
FREEDOM SPEECH
join the march
we are doing something to stop palestinians from acting as living bombs. we are trying to get the u.s. to stop funding isreal's theft of palestinian land. once the u.s. stops giving weapons to israel, israelis will have to leave palestine, thereby ending the need for suicide bombers to drive israelis off the land they stole a few decades ago.
perhaps they'll go conquer part of germany or something to establish the religious fanatical state, but they'll be safe from palestinian martyrs.
