Gleneagles Hotel, Scotland, 6-8th of July 2005

The G8 summits are where the 8 most powerful economic nations meet in secret to decide what sort of world we will live in. We've seen the results: our environment is sacrificed to profit, our health service is run down or privatized and millions of people continue to die for want of clean water and basic medicine.

"The UN estimates that 6 million children a year die because of policies imposed by the IMF and the World Bank."

Many big names will be involved: ActionAid; Oxfam; Save the Children; Comic Relief; Trade Justice Movement; Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and the New Economics Foundation. Many, many more grass roots activists will be too, including Pagans!
