Community groups set to take the gloss off the G20 in Brisbane

Submitted by kimk on Tue, 11/11/2014 - 12:28pm

From November 8 community groups will launch a range of actions and events against the economic rationalism, state repression and sheer ridiculous spending of the G20 event in Brisbane. While the police report over 20 groups they know of, the Brisbane Sovereign Embassy - BASE  and BrisCan-G20 are organising a People's Convergence. There will be street marches through the week and a People's March on November 15.
