International Co-ordination meeting
Over the last 18 months an international network has been emerging to co-ordinate action against the G8 in 2005.
Across Europe and further a field, individuals, groups and networks have been producing their own anti-G8 materials, building links with groups locally, organising benefit parties and discussing what they want their role to be in the mobilisation. On 26th -27th February in Southern Germany there will be a meeting to co-ordinate these groups mobilising against the G8.
