rabble livestreaming Shout Out For Global Justice!

| June 18, 2010

Can't make it  to the Shout Out For Global Justice?  We got you covered.  rabble.ca will be presenting an exclusive livefeed of Shout Out For Global Justice, Friday June 25 at 7:00 p.m. on rabble.ca/rabbletv.

The event, which takes place at Massey Hall in Toronto, Ontario, focuses on how we can create a better global future. It features world-renowned speakers including Council of Canadians Chairperson Maude Barlow, Bolivian Ambassador Pablo Solon, writer Naomi Klein, union leader Leo Gerard, physicist Vandana Shiva, Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman, War on Want Executive Director John Hilary, Indigenous activist Clayton Thomas-Muller, who will speak about the impacts of the G8 and G20 and the urgent need for trade, water and climate justice.

We are excited that rabble's livestream of the event will be shown at the U.S. Social Forum, promoting some cross border sharing for activists. 

rabble has livestreamed a number of events including broadcasting banned British Member of Parliament George Galloway to thousands over the Internet and this one promises to be popular as well.

Finally a few words from a couple of the featured speakers at the Shout Out:

"rabble is a crucial resource for achieving democracy in Canada, in this era of increasing corporate media centralization.  That's why the Council of Canadians supports rabble.ca" -- Maude Barlow

"I rely on rabble.ca to bring me the real debates that are shapping our country.  I also depend on rabble to bring my columns to a remarkable community of Canadians" Naomi Klein
