actions in Calgary during the G8 Summit. Spokescouncils will take place
each day, as well as workshops, panel discussions and other education
events. Affinity groups and inviduals are encouraged to come prepared to
share skills, ideas, and to plan together.
June 25th - Showdown at the Ho-down!
On June 25, the City of Calgary is hosting a 'western themed' party,
funded by corporations and business lobbyists, to showcase the city to
the delegates of the G8 and the international media. CACC and ACE are
organizing our own party, in solidarity with the poor and oppressed
people of Calgary and 'alberta' to disrupt the facade of the 'alberta
advantage' and the racist imagery of cavalier/cowboy capitalism. We
inted to expose the other side of Calgary and alberta's glowing image:
the growing epidemic of homelessness, incidents of brutality and racism
through it's police force, the handover of wild spaces and endangered
ecosystems to extraction industries, government attacks on workers,
women, social programs, people of colour, aboriginal communities and
more.
June 26th - Affinity Group Actions Against the G8!
On June 26, the opening day of the Kananaskis G8 summit, CACC and ACE
will be taking part in the actions organized by the larger
anti-corporate globalization coalition, offering support to affinity
group actions and respecting a diversity of tactics, while aiming to
ensure the safety of participants. A snake march is planned, and CACC
and ACE are providing a list of local corporate head offices, G8 country
consulates and other institutions and companies that profit off of
exploitation and oppression, to ensure affinity groups can come prepared
for many creative manifestations of resistance.
