CRASH THE G8 PARTY: Reclaiming Our Streets from the Neoliberals
A look at the upcoming G8 Summit in Köln Germany and how people are mobilizing around issues of global economics and increased privatization at home. Doug Henwood, Left Business Observer editor, provides a concise history of past G-8 summits, the agenda for this year's meeting of the oligarchy, and the underpinnings of today’s globalized political economy. To bring the G8 home, Steve Duncombe provides a history of the unique activist style of Reclaim the Streets and how this international movement is working (and dancing in the streets) for social change. June 18th marks a day of international action by Reclaim the Streets against the backdrop of the G8 summit.
