Put People First Campaigning Day on Friday 4 September 2009 at 10am-6pm in Central London
www.putpeoplefirst.org.uk/autumn

This autumn the G20 is back. On Friday 4 September, the G20 Finance Ministers are meeting in London to discuss the financial crisis, for the first time since April’s G20 summit. So far they’ve flunked the challenge of putting people first in response to the financial crisis, preferring instead to patch up the old system that has led to global poverty, inequality and the threat of climate chaos.
 
Join us in central London to tell the G20: No More Business As Usual. We’ll be demanding action on jobs, justice and climate, learning more about some of the key institutions behind the crisis, and discussing what’s next for Put People First campaigning.

Timetable for Friday 4th September
10am-11am: Put People First stunt targeting the Finance Ministers – bring your jobs, justice and climate banners.
11.30am-1pm: A walking tour of companies and institutions that have contributed to the economic crisis. Meet at the Bank of England.
2pm-6pm: An afternoon of talks and discussion at the London School of Economics.
