G20 Deck of Cards
Däv
2009-08-26 8:08 PM
Here's a deck of cards to help Pittsburgh activists identify 63 of the central figures involved in the upcoming G20 summit which will be coming to their town as well as a handful of the local officials who will be aiding in facilitating this disruptive event. These are the individuals who, in their arrogance, feel it not only appropriate but necessary to speak for two thirds of the earths population in their attempts to shape the economic reality of us all. These are the individuals who will be decending upon the City of Pittsburgh in late September to discuss how effective recent international financial capital stop-loss programs have been and how to better reform the international institutions of trade to better secure their interests on your behalf. These are the individuals who will be behind the closed doors of the G20 summit events, secured from ever having to meet any of the little people whose interests they claim to represent.
Feel free to copy and distribute this deck as you please.

Privilege, Identity, and Conflict at the 2009 CrimethInc. Convergence
pittsburgher
2009-08-23 2:59 PM
Some have suggested that we should simply see the difficult events at the convergence as a reminder to address the issues of white supremacy and gentrification; meanwhile, all manner of uninformed parties who were not present at the convergence have been commenting about it. We humbly suggest that it might be more appropriate for those who were not at the convergence to focus on discussing gentrification, oppression, and abuse in their own experiences, while listening to those who were present at the convergence when it comes to questions pertaining to it.
