The history of the colonization of the Americas by Europeans is often portrayed as a mutually beneficial process\, in which '”civilization” was brought to the Natives\, who in return shared their land and cultures. A more critical history might present it as a genocide in which Indigenous peoples were helpless victims\, overwhelmed and awed by European military power. In reality\, neither of these views is correct.

ALL OUT AGAINST THE G8/G20!
25-27 June 2010
The Group of 8 Leaders and the Group of 20 Leaders are meeting in Ontario\, from the 25th to the 27th of June\, 2010. On these same dates we are calling for a people's convergence in Toronto.
These gatherings are about trying to fix capitalism\, a system that cannot be fixed\; about creating unsustainable trading solutions to ecological catastrophe\; about ensuring the continued exploitation of people of colour and the South and about celebrating war as a means to create puppet allies
and maintain imperialist power.
This is a call to disrupt and shut down the places\, the systems and the ideas that exploit and exclude us.
In their place\, let us creatively build the world we wish to live in. A world with self-determination for indigenous peoples\; climate and environmental justice\; income equity and community control over resources\; migrant justice and an end to war and occupation\; gender justice\, queer and disAbility rights.
On these days\, we call for Days of Action across the world that showcase solutions from the ground up.
