FROM OUR STATEMENT OF VISION AND PURPOSE:
Concerned with attaining global economic development that promotes social justice and human rights, linking the local, national, and global, the Peoples’ Summit seeks to advance:
1) the elimination of hunger and poverty; 2) an end to all forms of racism; 3) the rights and dignity of labor; 4) freedom and empowerment of women; 5) education for all, especially for youth; 6) adequate health care as a basic human right; 7) the creation of safe and inclusive communities; 8) an end to war and to the conditions that cause war; 9) the human rights of the vulnerable – refugees, immigrants, the disabled, etc.; 10) the preservation of our planet’s ecosystem.
Participants in the Peoples’ Summit envision a world where basic rights—freedom of expression, freedom of thought and religion, freedom from fear, and freedom from want—are enjoyed by all people.
Dear Friends,
We need your help to ensure the success of the September 19-22 Peoples' Summit – organized by educators from Carnegie Mellon University and other institutions in Pittsburgh in conjunction with the Thomas Merton Center, Global Solutions Pittsburgh, the Brother’s Brother Foundation, the Three Rivers Community Foundation, and a growing number of groups.
This will be an educational dialogue -- bringing together international, national, and local speakers, diverse panels, and interactive workshops -- focusing on economic, social, and political problems facing the world. Neither anti-G-20 nor pro-G-20, it seeks (1) to draw together people wanting to share their thoughts and concerns about, and learn more about, the problems facing our communities and our world, and (2) to help develop a critical and creative dialogue about the kind of world we would like to see.
The Peoples' Summit seeks to have a fruitful impact on the G-20 Summit, on our elected officials, and on our brothers and sisters in diverse local, national, and global communities. Your assistance – in helping to organize, spread the word about, attend, and contribute financially to the Peoples’ Summit – can help ensure the success of this important effort.
Sincerely,
Fundraising Sub-Committee, Peoples’ Summit
