Hi everyone
On 8 July there’ll be the G20 summit in Hamburg. 100,000 are expected to demonstrate against Donald Trump and the other heads of state responsible for destroying our planet. For details of buses from Berlin see https://busse.g20-demo.de/fahrten/BER03/Berlin,0.html. If you’d like to travel together, please contact us at lag.internationals@die-linke-berlin.de

PS don’t forget as a warm-up for the G20, we’ll be having a drink with Unjum Mirza, socialist, trade unionist and anti-racist activist from London. Unjum will be telling us about Jeremy Corbyn’s Britain after the election (and hopefully shortly before the next election). Its on Tuesday 4 July from 7pm in the Cantine Sociale (where we watched the election results), Tucholskystraße 32 (S-Bahn Oranienburgerstraße)
