Sunday, November 23: gather at 10AM at Diepkloof Extreme Park, Zone 5, Diepkloof (near corner of Baragwanath Road and Immink Drive), and march to the G20 Summit at Nasrec Break the G20!... …before it breaks all of us! At a time of stress unprecedented since 1945, societies must oppose senseless wars, capitalist crises, extreme inequality and ecocide. More 
The world is in a deep crisis, which is tearing apart economies, societies and the environment. We need a new global movement to get us out of this crisis. A movement that builds power from the ground up — connecting local struggles, uniting movements, and advancing clear political alternatives. In November 2025, as a counter to the G20 Leaders’ Summit for the rich, we are planning a counter-summit: a People’s Summit for global economic justice for the rest of the world’s population – the 99%. Built around the “We the 99%” call to action, the People’s Summit will unite social movements and civil society in a global effort to reclaim democracy and change the future. https://wetheninetynine.com
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.
