Big Names from the Left Speak Out during G20 Summit

June 29, 2010

Originally scheduled to happen at the University of Toronto, the Shout Out for Global Justice was moved to Massey Hall when the U of T campus was shut down for the duration of the G20.
The event, held on June 25, 2010, was organized by the Council of Canadians and included a star-studded list of high profile speakers representing opposition to the G20, including Dr. Vandana Shiva, Maude Barlow, Amy Goodman and Naomi Klein.
Hosted by veteran Canadian actor R.H. Thompson, the event was one of the most anticipated events during the activist convergence during the G8 and G20 Summits.
B Channel News brings you video of this event in 8 parts, followed by an interview before the event with Dr. Vandana Shiva, founder of Navdanya, an environmental justice organization that counts 5,000,000 farmer families in sixteen states of India among its members.
