> June in the West End, the 'J11 – Carnival against Capitalism'. There's
> lots to do and we need more people to get involved.
> 
> This is the time to come and take on jobs. The final national gathering
> will be in London on 25th and 26th May (venue tba, see
> network23.org/stopg8/).
> 
> We need: artists, rabble rousers, musicians, fly-posters, fundraisers,
> trouble makers, social media geeks, promoters, kitchen crew, people to
> hold down a convergence space, and more.

> More info on StopG8:
> 
> The UK is hosting the G8 conference in Fermanagh on 17-18th June in the
> North of Ireland. The Stop G8 network has come together to oppose it and
> to take action against capitalism.
> 
> The G8 is a meeting of the leaders of the eight 'most powerful' nations,
> held annually. It will be used to discuss strengthening international
> capitalism and as a photo opportunity to give the impression of benevolent
> leadership. Any real solutions to the problems we face can't involve
> institutions as undemocratic as the G8. The real problem is capitalism; in
> order to fight austerity, exploitation and the destruction of the planet
> we have to challenge the G8 leaders instead of lobbying them.
> 
> Stop G8 has already made an international callout for participation in a
> week of action from the 10th-14th June in London, leaving space for people
> to go to Ireland. We are also planning a programme of cultural events to
> coincide with the week of action and convergence space in London from the
> 8th-15th June.
> 
> We are holding a Carnival against Capitalism (#J11) in the West End of
> London on 11 June, under the slogan "One Common Struggle". There are also
> mass actions planned on the 12th, 13th and 14th of June, see
> https://network23.org/stopg8/week-of-action/ for a list.
> 
> We need your help to make all this happen!
