I <3 Alt Media: Fundraiser and Report Back from G8/G20 Summit
Friday, July 9, 7:00pm
Rhizome Cafe, 317 E Broadway

Support alt media reporting on the G8/G20!

>From June 25th to 27th the world’s richest countries (the G8 and G20) will
send their leaders and business elite to meet along with heads of the EU,
IMF and World Bank in Huntsville and Toronto. These gatherings are about
trying to fix capitalism, a system that cannot be fixed; about creating
unsustainable trading solutions to ecological catastrophe; about ensuring
the continued exploitation of people of colour and the South and about
celebrating war as a means to create puppet allies and maintain
imperialist power.

Alt media is a critical part of the G8/G20 resistance; keeping us updated
and informed of the latest from the streets, and ultimately helping us to
build sustainable communities of resistance.

Join the Vancouver Media Co-op, Upping the Anti and Resist!ca for a
fundraiser and report back from the G8/G20 convergence in Toronto and
local
resistance in Vancouver.

Upping the Anti - a radical journal of theory and action - will be launching
issue no. 10, which includes:

* Interviews on climate justice and anti-capitalism;
* Articles on activist responses to Avatar and the aftermath of the 2008
Greek revolt;
* Roundtables on radical media and ex-cops resisting police;
* Book reviews, and more!

*** Live music! *** Raffle! *** Politics! *** Fun! ***

Sliding scale $0 - $10; no one turned away for lack of funds.
