In July 2008, the so-called "G8" heads of the state that monopolize two thirds of the earths wealth will gather at Lake Toya in Hokkaido Japan. The Japan based network of anti-authoritarians and anarchists, No! G8 Action, was formed in May 2007. It hopes to bring Japanese and East Asian impetus onto the stage of the global anti-capitalist struggle. The info-tour is part of this effort. The info-tour presentation deals with the numerous issues that confront Japan and East Asia, such as militarization, neo-liberal reforms, free trade, society of control, environment, and the status of Japanese minority groups such as resident Koreans, Chinese, foreign workers, and the Ainu People; and more generally, the common ground that struggling people the world over share.

Other more specific issues, such as the legal and policing situation, traveling there, and the events, and facilities being put on for activists attending the G8 protests.

The talk will be on Monday 25th of February at the Forest Cafe, 3 Bristo place. Starting at 7pm and lasting about one hour. It will contain visual displays and films, and will have time at the end for questions and answers.
