This event is to raise awareness and funds to support the activist resisting
the GREAT 20 (G-20) invasion on Pittsburg PA
Sept 22nd -25th, 2009.
The G-20 is a meeting of representatives from the world's twenty
most wealthy and powerful countries who meet to discuss how to further
first world dominance and perpetuate a corporate capitalism in which the
rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Citizens from around the country
and world will be there protesting to tell them: We don't want your
corporate globalization! We want a globalization that benefits common
people, not multinational corporations.
All proceeds will got to support the Frank Wellness Center in Pittsburg that
is being created in response to $10 Million police force that is coming into
Pittsburg for the G20 protests. (Obama has allocated these funds, weapons,
and he has promised that there will be 4,000 troops in Pittsburg during the
summit)
The hope is that The Wellness Center will be fully equipped to support
victims of police brutality and other protesters that are harmed during the
summit. You can learn more about the organizing around the G20 protests
from: resistg20.org
The Frank Center is described more at this site medic.wikia.com, but in a
nutshell, it will be a center where people will be trained in NADA ear
acupuncture, peer support, basic bodywork, basic herbal medicine, and street
medicine, and will provide care beginning during the protests against the
Pittsburgh G20 Summit and continuing to serve the Pittsburgh community long
after the summit has ended.
