The G8 are the 7 richest and most powerful contries in the world + Russia. Their summit meetings help set agendas in the WTO as well as various other economic and social policies that help keep up the governemtns interests and leaving our planet and ourselves to lay to waste.
The G8 is coming to Gleneagles in Scotland this July and its time to mobilise to protest. There are two demonstrations, the first being on Saturday July 2nd in Edinburgh for Make Poverty History campaign, and most importantly the main demonstration is on Wednesday 6th July in what will become the Battle of Gleneagles, a peaceful protest in the attmept to shut down the G8.
This si the basics of it all, I will supply more information as it becomes available.
