Political action that isn't entirely limited to the internet!

Last night I went to an organizational meeting for a rally asking for an inquiry into the G20 debacle.

There was a reporter there.

I volunteered to bring the materials for the banner we're going to make, which means a trip to Ottawa street to buy a big piece of cloth and a trip to the dollar store for paints and brushes and containers for the paint.

Anyway, we're expecting between seventy and a hundred people, at Gore Park tomorrow from 1:00 to 3:00. If you're available and not already going to the Toronto rally, please come!

Thanks for alerting me to the Toronto rally--the Canadians Demanding a Public Inquiry into G20 Facebook group can't send out invites anymore for some reason (I'm guessing its size). Do you know if there's a good central site collecting and posting information on this?

I've been tagging all G20-related tweets with #G20report. You can find even more at #G20report (http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23g20report).

Oh, and cheers for your activism! :D

I think there are links on the original facebook page. You'll have to check there. It shouldn't be hard to find - I suspect it will be at Queen's Park.

Thanks. Also, please read the last few entries on my LJ if you have time--some pretty awful stuff has happened and I'm curious about what you'd have to say about it.

Read, but haven't had time to formulate a comment yet. I'll get back to you.
