Resisting the Economic Crisis!
From 
The G20 Protests to Philly


Sunday, October 18th, 7pm
Calvary Church (48th and Baltimore Avenue)

On September 24th, 
the twenty richest countries in the world came to Pittsburgh to "fix" the global economy, where they were greeted by mass protests against an economic system that benefits the wealthy.  Over 100 people traveled to the G20 together in a "People's Caravan" that met with grassroots community groups from across Pennsylvania, including trailer park residents resisting eviction and people fighting pollution from coal mines.

The struggle for economic and social justice didn't start with the
caravan and it didn't end in Pittsburgh.  For years people have been
struggling for change in 
the neighborhoods, schools and workplaces of Philadelphia.  Come to the Cavalry Church on October 18th and meet amazing groups fighting for economic justice right in our backyard!

Featuring:

The People's Caravan
Kensington Welfare Rights Union
ACT UP
Coalition to Save 
the Libraries
Casino Free Philadelphia
Philly Student Union
Student Labor Action Project
Media Mobilizing Project
