G20 Meltdown, London, April 1st

1st March 2009ce

Next month London plays host to a meeting of the G20 (the Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors from 20 economies: 19 of the world's 25 largest national economies, plus the EU).

As they throw money at the banks that couldn't be found for public services, as they refuse to question the inevitability of economic growth hitting a stopping point or the wisdom of ever increasing consumption, we need to show them that we can see a different - fairer, more sustainable, saner - world.

At the London Summit on April 1st , the G20 ministers are trying to get away with the biggest April Fools trick of all time. Their tax-dodging, bonus-guzzling, pension-pinching, unregulated free market world's in meltdown, and those fools think we're going to bail them out. They've gotta be joking!
We can't pay, we won't pay and we are taking to the streets

Many, many imaginative actions will be taking place across London on April 1st. One major focus will be four separate carnival parades culminating in direct action against (a) carbon trading and (b) other financial crimes in the City of London.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will lead themed processions starting at 11 a.m. from the following rail stations:

* Moorgate - Red horse against War;
* Liverpool St - Green horse against Climate chaos
* London Bridge - Silver horse against Financial crimes
* Cannon Street - Black horse against land enclosures and borders in honour of the 360th full circle anniversary of the Diggers

At 12 noon, April 1st, we're going to reclaim the City, thrusting into the very belly of the beast: the Bank of England. At 1pm there's a climate focused action at the European Carbon Exchange at Hasilwood House, 62 Bishopsgate.

Early a.m. April 2nd, we're going to bang on their hotel doors, @ the Excel Centre, Canning town to deliver our message of a world beyond capitalism.
