In person at the University of Johannesburg Soweto Campus, join a two-day teach-in covering G20 ‘solidarity, equality, sustainability’ politics, hosted by Trevor Ngwane, Patrick Bond, Tafadzwa Choto, Cleopatra Shezi and the Centre for Social Change – or join us online as we broadcast live: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84736248638 The UJ Centre for Social Change offers critiques of G20 imperial + subimperial partnerships, for amplifying – not solving – the world’s problems. These politics pit the Trump regime (the ‘G1,’ boycotting SA) against other Western ‘G6’ ruling classes in alliance with the Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa BRICS bloc… against everyone else and our planetary ecosystems. The hosting of the Johannesburg G20 leaders’ summit at the Nasrec conference site – near Diepkloof, Soweto – on November 22-23, offers a chance on the prior weekend to learn from activists based in South Africa, G20 member states and the world’s economic periphery. The teach-in helps question whether the ‘unipolar’ post-WWII institutions and capitalist markets are really being challenged by new ‘multipolar’ BRICS actors – or whether instead, the G20 merely co-opts both South African elites and their ‘S20’ civil society allies. Topics include poverty and inequality; financial stability and fairness; ecocide; geopolitical frictions, e.g. genocide in Palestine; food sovereignty; and social + class struggles for justice. A ‘Break the G20!’ teach-in will be held at UJ Soweto Campus (2km from Hani-Baragwanath Hospital). Also join us at We the 99% People’s Summit, November 20-22 at Constitution Hill.
