The 2010 People’s Summit is civil society’s alternative “counter Summit” happening the week before the  G8 and G20 Summits  in Huntsville and Toronto this June 25th – 27th.  Together we will create a space where diverse local and international movements can democratically organize to advocate and educate for global justice. 

Community organizers, activists, non-governmental organizations, independent media, workers, impacted communities, artists – the people – converge this June to work together to educate, empower and ignite the positive change we would like to see in our world.
