G8 2005 Protests
Many campaigns are pumping up their message for the G8 Summit, July 6-8, with counter conferences brewing globally. The G8 is a group of eight of the most powerful countries in the world, who meet annually to discuss global problems. Representing just 14% of the world’s population, but controlling two thirds of global wealth, their actions have an impact on the whole world.
In past years, everywhere they have tried to meet they have been met with a massive response from the world's social movements. Now, in Britain, a network of groups and individuals is emerging that hopes to resist the Summit, and build a lasting movement against capitalism. The centre of attention is Dissent! A Network of Resistance Against the G8 which was formed at the end of November 2003. Links to it and other G8 related websites are provided below.
