A couple more shout-outs for mobilisations outside the UK.

In Germany, Fight G8 are supporting our week of action in the UK, and also calling for decentralised actions in Germany — and everywhere! — between the 14 and 18 June. Read all about it here (in German and English).

In Brazil, Autonomia Proletaria have been publicising our events in Portuguese. They are organising resistance to the BRIC summit which will take place in Fortaleza, Brazil, in March 2014. Economic and political power in the world is shifting away from the old powers of US and Europe, and to the rising BRIC powers (Brazil, Russia, India an China) and others. As usual, growth benefits the few not the many, and in Brazil the new wealth and status also means more land grabbing, inequality, and displacing the poor from the cities. Read more about what the BRIC summit, Olympics, World Cup and more mean for most Brazilians here.

Here are some links to videos about the World Cup in Brazil (English subtitles):
