AUSTERITY, REPRESSION and RESISTANCE: The G20 and Harper's Attack on Civil Liberties

As the dust settled on the Toronto Convention Centre, site of the G20 Summit last month, the world was left with a brutal hangover. The G20 "consensus" --that deficits should be cut in half by 201...3--signals a vicious new round of attacks on ordinary people everywhere.

Working people and the poor around the world are being told to bear the brunt of policies that will only make capitalism's crisis worse. That is why it was so important that tens of thousands marched against the G20 Summit.

And that is why it is so important that thousand's more are now mobilizing against Harper's "security state" and attacks on civil liberties.

This is the repressive apparatus the Conservative government relies on to crush resistance to these cuts---join us to discuss and debate the ways forward in helping to build a growing movement prepared to fight it.

Speaker: Sid Lacombe, International Socialists
