On June the 4th and 5th 2015, the Group of Seven (G7) will be meeting at the castle of Elmau in the Bavarian Alps. There the Heads of State and Government from Germany, the USA, Japan, the UK, France, Italy and Canada want to consult on foreign affairs and war policies, world economy, climate, and ‘development’ issues. The representatives of the richest and most powerful countries in the world lay claim to decide the fate of the entire world, without having any legitimation for this. The G7 politics means neoliberal economic policies, war and militarization, exploitation, poverty and hunger, environmental degradation, and the closing-off towards refugees.

CALL TO ACTION AGAINST THE G7
On June the 4th and 5th 2015, the „Group of Seven“ (G7) will be meeting at the castle of Elmau in the Bavarian Alps. There the Heads of State and Government from Germany, the USA, Japan, the UK, France,Italy and Canada want to consult on foreign affairs and war policies, world economy, climate, and ‘development’ issues. The representatives of the richest and most powerful countries in the world lay claim to decide the fate of the entire world, without having any legitimation for this. The G7 politics means neo-liberal economic policies, war and militarization, exploitation, poverty and hunger, environmental degradation, and the closing-off towards refugees.
A multitude of individuals, organizations and political parties from varying spectra and convictions won’t let this summit commence undisturbed.
We will stand our ground against the politics of the G7 with diverse and creative, open and determined action, demonstrations, blockades, and rallies directly by the castle as well as a mass rally and counter-summit in Munich. Get involved, come numerously, join us!
Fight the G7 policies:
-Get rid of the free trade agreements TTIP, TISA and CETA – the world is not for sale
-Against militarization and war – stop the wars by NATO states
-Open the borders for all people – solidarity with migrants and refugees
.-Stop the exploitation of mankind and nature – regain the natural basis of life from profit driven economy
-Against cutbacks in the social system – make the corporations pay for their own crisis
-Stop watching us – against surveillance society and the dismantling of democratic liberties
We regard the mobilization against the G7 summit as part of the diverse protest movements for social justice, for the preservation of the natural foundations of life, for peace and universal human rights. Therefore we fight alongside the Blockupy movement, the anti-war movement, the anti-racist movement, the struggle for better living and working conditions, and the protests against environmental degradation.
