In 2014, the Brisbane activist community got together to organise a community driven response to the G20 Summit planned for the city. Rather than focus on or give fuel to the mainstream media obsession with riots and drama (in Brisbane, really?), the community decided to instead enact it’s own alternative “People’s Summit”, a week of talks and workshops on alternative economic models that place people at the centre, to be followed by a peaceful People’s March. This historic event was supported by BrisCAN-G20, the name given to the network set up to co-ordinate the summit and march (the march to be organised in cooperation with Indigenous activists who also planned their own “Genocidal 20” protest march).
The resources on this page include the archive of the BrisCAN-G20 website (which carried the news, information and press releases during the period of organising and event holding), as well as links to photos and the still operational (but not actively updated) BrisCAN-G20 facebook page.
