Vancouver Peoples' Summit, June 20 2010: Join Us!
Take your place at the Table!
Join us on June 20th 2010 at Vancouver's contribution to At The Table, the international campaign to ensure issues that matter are on the table at the G8/G20 Talks in Toronto.
The Vancouver Peoples' Summit will bring together activists and advocates to celebrate our common cause and send a message to leaders: we want bold action to end poverty, stop climate change, and make sure the global economy works for everyone.
We're partnering up with Main Street Car Free Day Festival to make this happen, and we're going to fill Main Street between 29th and 33rd Ave with music, children's performance, street theater, dialogue, debate and more. It's a party with a purpose, and we want you to be part of it!

To The PM: Canada Must Lead!
A country as wealthy and privileged as Canada can afford to take bold action on global warming. We should be setting an example for the world -- not waiting to see what other countries do!
We urge you to make a legally binding committment to cut Canada's emissions in half by 2020. We also ask that you push other developed countries to do the same at the climate talks in Copenhagen this December.
At home, we call on you to back up this commitment with effective policies that are fair for the whole country.
It's climate crunch time, Prime Minister, and we need you to lead. Make us proud to be Canadian!
