The world is in a revolutionary situation
Why are our wages so low? Why are our livings, livings
of workers in such poverty?
Because capitalists are getting unprecedented gains, replacing full-time
workers by temporary ones. They are making large profits, speculating
on grain and oil. They are completely responsible for state of things
today.
People of the world are getting angry. There are demonstrations and strikes
everyday and everywhere: public sector workers in England, education workers
in France, post and traffic workers in Germany, and health workers in
Denmark etc. There are also food riots everywhere in the world, in Asia,
Africa and Latin America as well as in the Middle East.
Itfs high time to demonstrate our strength to Bush, Fukuda and the
capitalists of the world.
War, disparity and poverty--enough is enough!

of the working class. Letfs concentrate our anger to this point!
The Presidents and Prime ministers of the US, the UK, France, Japan and
so on gather at a hotel at Lake Tohya in Hokkaido on July 7-10 to hold
a G8-Summit.
G8-Summit and the working class are incompatible. The Iraqi War, existence
and increase of working poor, privatization, dismantling of health care
and pension systems, starvation and destruction of environment\\all
these things are their works from which we suffer extremely. Letfs
smash the G8-Summit by united action of the working class!

fs make a massive demonstration on the street! Smash G8-Summit
by strikes and demonstrations! Arrogant capitalists and their politicians
can do nothing in face of revolts at workshops.
Doro Chiba (National Railway Motive Power Union of Chiba) waged a spring
offensive strike this year and made an appeal of unity and solidarity
across industries and workplaces. Letfs create a fighting labor
movement that can defeat capitalists and the state power! Letfs
get back true labor union to us, overthrowing misleaders of existing labor
unions; they yield to capitalists and the state power saying, gStruggles

Letfs make a powerful demonstration on June 29 in Shibuya!

and students.
The state power is awfully scared of strikes and demonstrations. G8-leaders
must know that they canft hold a conference calmly. Letfs
make a huge march of 10,000 people!
Letfs demonstrate together and create unity! Letfs express
our anger! Letfs transform Shibuya into a town of angry workers,
students, the elderly and farmers!

Dear
Sisters and Brothers,
Our hearts are with you as you speak truth to power, even as you experience
suppression and silencing by the Japanese government. We know that you
will remain strong in calling for global justice, for human rights and
dignity, and democratic representation everywhere.
We join you in opposing globalization that results in unregulated political
power of large multinational corporations and trade agreements which foster
inequities, poverty, global warming, health concerns as well as other
life and death issues. It is outrageous that the G8 countries represent
only 14% of the world population, yet they have monopolized the world's
economic output, are responsible for the world's nuclear weapons, and
72% of the world's military power.
The majority of the people in the United States are opposed to our government's
policies and involvement in the G8 summit. We join you in struggle and
thank you for being visible in your resistance against the G-8 summit
and all that it stands for.
In solidarity,
Arlene Inouye, Coalition Against Militarism in our Schools
United Teachers Los Angeles
On behalf of the Transport Workers Solidarity Committee (TWSC), we bring
greetings and solidarity to your protest and action against the G8 meeting.
The G8 conference is not about solving problems for the working people
of the G8 countries or workers of the world.
In fact it is exactly the policies of these corporate controlled G8 country
governments that have led to the present disaster in the world economy.
Their agenda of deregulation of the world's financial system has exacerbated
the capitalist speculative bubble. The billionaires are now setting the
stage for a complete collapse of the world economy as they make multi-billion
dollar gambles on the price of oil and other commodities. This speculation
is not for the use of these commodities but to make large profits.
They have ruined economies in Korea, Taiwan, Japan and many other countries
and now their policies are causing starvation and mass unemployment throughout
the world.
Their G8 support for deregulation and privatization of the world's economy
has weakened and harmed health and safety conditions for workers and conditions
for consumers in food, transportation, housing and agriculture.
These governments of the G8 represent a rapacious gangster class that
is intent on stealing even more wealth of the world through chicanery
and manipulation of the economy and the political structure. Their policies
have had criminal consequences for millions of transportation workers
who have seen their wages cut, their injuries on the job increase and
the destruction of a rational plan for transportation in the world.
We also support your action to expose the corporate media's cover-up
of their crimes. The corporate controlled media will not even whisper
that the very crisis that the world is facing is precisely because of
the policies of these G8 governments yet that is the case.
Only the action of workers independently on a global level can confront
and stop the policies of privatization, deregulation and war that the
G8 are imposing and conspiring to implement. Workers must also see that
if the capitalists cannot run the system, the solution can only be workers
running the system. As this crisis grows US workers and workers around
the world will be forced to confront the fact that this system is not
capable of meeting their needs.
These G8 bosses are telling the workers of the world that there is no
future for workers in their schemes and game plans. Our answer is that
there is no need for the bosses that run these G8 governments and in fact
workers can run the world to benefit the people of the world instead of
the .5% who own the world and run it for their personal benefit.
The action of the west coast ILWU longshore workers to close the ports
to protest the war in Iraq and Afghanistan is the kind of action we need
against the G8 on a global level and the TWSC will work with our brothers
and sisters at this protest against these policies and crimes.
In Solidarity,
Steve Zeltzer
