Have you REGISTERED for the People's Summit Yet?

The first annual Vancouver People's Summit will be hosted at this coming Car Free Day. We wanted to invite your team to take part in this exciting day of G8/G20 activism. We are hopeful that this emerging partnership with the folks at Car Free Day will strengthen the NGO/civil society in Vancouver and provide an incredible networking opportunity.

The event will have a festival like feel as Car Free always does, but we are also putting together three Kangaroo G8/G20 events that are designed to be media stunts as well as a forums for discussion. These three People's Tables will address the themes of the At the Table campaign: Global Financial Justice, Climate Change and Women's Rights. Each table will also feature delicious food prepared by some local chefs using locally grown food. More information on the At the Table Campaign can be found at http://www.atthetable2010.org.

It is our pleasure to extend an invitation to BCCIC members to set up a booth and also to feature a speaker/representative to have their seat "At the Table" at one of the People's Tables. Attached to this email please find an introduction letter and a registration form. You can also find more information about the event at our website at http://www.vancouverpeoplessummit.ca. On behalf of everyone at the Vancouver People's Summit we look forward to collaborating with you to strengthen the social justice and sustainability movement
