rabble.ca is gearing up to cover the G8 and G20 summits in Huntsville and Toronto from June 25 to 27 and related events. We are currently seeking submissions from contributors (writers, bloggers, photographers and videographers) interested in examining both local and global impacts of the G8 and G20 on indigenous sovereignty, migrant justice, women's health, climate debt, the economy among other pressing issues. We are also looking for writers to consider the local effect of the security measures for the meetings.

Here are some of the events we plan to cover:

Starting Monday April 19 to 22 watch for our coverage of The World People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth, from Cochabamba, Bolivia. Following on the heels of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 15) that took place in Copenhagen, Denmark in December, The People's Conference aims to be a grassroots response to COP15.

Unlike Copenhagen, The People's Conference agenda is based on effective and just solutions to the climate crisis. Alongside an open invitation to social movements, civil society and environmental organizations, academics and scientists, all 192 governments in the UN have been invited to attend and encouraged to listen to the voices of civil society.

We've assembled an exciting roster of writers and bloggers to share the latest scoop and analysis of the Copenhagen climate conference.
