WTF is NATO/G8 and Why The F*** Should I Care?!?!?!
Submitted by lima_fox on
This May, the top 8 most powerful countries will be meeting almost simultaneously as the most powerful military alliance in the world. The meetings this summer will be met by worldwide resistance to the very politics these two organizations will be working to advance. From renewed austerity measures to a global military force, the week of May 18-21 will undoubtedly be one of great mass mobilization. Although they are no longer both being held in Chicago, the decision to split the meetings between two locations tells us that first, the planners are taking notice the global uproar and second, it is an attempt to dilute any dissent from protestors. The need to better understand the significance of these two organizations and their meetings is vital to resistance. Join the University of Texas at Austin's International Socialist Organization in a public meeting explaining this significance and why anyone fighting for social justice must care what happens at these meetings.
