The Group of 8 Leaders and the Group of 20 Leaders are meeting in Ontario from June 25-27, 2010.
Well for anyone planning to shoot the G20 at the end of the month in Toronto from or coming to cover you should see about finding out a group to cover. I am still trying to figure out the logistics of covering, I know people from both Anarchists and Hard core Communists who are the two groups most likely to clash with the cops. My mobility is the issue but I will be scouting the area and talking to some people and see if I can figure out how to cover one or two of the groups.
If your looking for the peaceful stuff look at labour unions, indigenous groups seeking self determination etc. It is the much safer route to go.
I have some one willing to lug my stuff for me and if I get the amount of the info I should I may be able to get in place before hand but they are very fluid so it may not be possible.
If you bring a bandana do not cover your face until the sh i t goes down, you will be arrested just for wearing one which is unconstitutional they will still do it. Get a dry one around your neck and one wet in a zip lock baggie even if your covering peaceful protests, they may end up being pulled in and if tear gas is used you will regret not having the two ready. Bring at least two bottles of water. A small emergency kit. And with the new toy they wasted our tax dollars on to use against civilians, two set of ear plugs, one internal sponge ones and ones that cover over your ears will lessen the pain from the new weapon they just bought and plan to use. outside the bandana around your neck, everything else should be hidden but quickly accessible.
If anyone is covering one of the more militant groups I can give you more advice in PM if needed on what to carry and not carry or talk to the group if possible you plan to cover.
These are two places to get some of the more left perspectives.
