From
the 15th - 17th June the Justice and Interior Ministers from the eight
most powerful countries in the world - the G8 - will meet in
Sheffield Groups of local people are coming together to show them how unwelcome
they and their painful policies are. But also to create space where we
can share experiences, learn from each other, and explore alternatives
through which we can prioritise the needs, dignity and joy of people
and protect our environment.

While the G8 Ministers are in Sheffield discussing policies and tactics
of increasing repression, we will make clear our rejection of them and
work towards true freedom, peace and democracy.
