A CALL FOR A GLOBAL MOBILIZATION
AGAINST THE G20 SUMMIT IN PITTSBURGH, PA., U.S.
SEPTEMBER 24 AND 25, 2009
ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE – BUT WE MUST FIGHT FOR IT!
BAIL OUT THE PEOPLE
JOBS & SOCIAL NEEDS--NOT WAR AND GREED
The third G20 summit is going to be in Pittsburgh, Pa., on September 24 and 25, 2009. The challenge before the movements for economic and social justice, as well as the antiwar movement, is that the next meeting of the powers that govern the world economy be met with a powerful mass mobilization demanding that jobs and social needs, and not war and greed, prevail--here in the U.S., and across the world.

Mass March on Washington, D.C. for Jobs or Income now;
A National People’s Assembly
The widening war against the workers and oppressed
peoples is intensifying. More lives are going to be devastated
by the biggest global economic crisis since the Depression of
the 1930s.This crisis is the challenge of our lifetime. What we
do or fail to do will prove decisive in the coming battle over
whose interests in society shall prevail.

Proposed Campaigns & Mobilizations
Organizing the Unemployed
The time has come to launch a national campaign to organize
the unemployed to fight for jobs or an income. The economic crisis
is being defined by the Depression-level unemployment rate and
the fight for jobs or income. The unemployment rate for African
Americans is already twice as high and even higher for young Black
people.
• Calling local or national level “WE
NEED JOBS” demonstrations. A tactic that for youth would
be to organize around the slogan “JOBS NOT JAILS.”
Anything that helps to bring the unemployed out of isolation and
gives them a voice.
• A People’s Assembly can serve
to provide a public hearing for people to talk about the impact
that the crisis is having on communities and what emergency measures
are necessary to deal with the problems people are facing.
• Support and Expand the Moratorium
NOW! Campaign that is fighting to force the government
at every level to declare a moratorium on foreclosures and evictions.
Organizers are demanding that the sheriffs and marshals be ordered
by local governments to not carry out evictions. More and more,
neighbors and activists are rallying to prevent bankers and police
from carrying out evictions on the spot.
• Solidarity with
Immigrant Workers The mass raids, jailings and
deportations are not only to terrorize immigrant workers so as
to make it easier to super-exploit and divide all workers—a
principal weapon that bosses employ, especially during hard times.
The Fightback will be imperiled if it cannot unite all sections
of the working class and progressive forces around the active
defense of immigrant workers’ rights.
• Recruiting an Army
of Volunteer Organizers The Fightback needs both
veteran activists with experience and skills as well as new people
with the time and willingness to help. Most importantly, the Fightback
needs volunteers who are able to work collectively, who are respectful
of others and who are both capable and committed to interacting
with working and poor people of all nationalities, genders, sexual
orientations, abilities and ages in a manner that is patient,
dignified, and devoid of negative presumptions.
