35,000 March in London united in a demand to Put People for the G20

I am not sure if people on I Peace believe that those working for social justice around the world are an important part of the movement for peace but I do. I believe the grand movements that we have seen emerge in Europe over the past weeks demanding a response to the economic crisis that meets the needs of people are speaking truth to power and insisting that our governments represent us...an important step towards peace. In my book Transforming Power: From the Personal to the Political, I make the case that all of those that support peace, equality, sustainability and social justice need to unite against war, greed and domination. The multiple crises we are facing are too great for divisions of ego and ideology to divide us. I am hoping many of you will agree.

The Guardian reported the protest under the headline The Revolution Starts Here You can see a map of the week's protest in my last blog and watch a TV clip of the protest on the BBC. No doubt the protests will grow over the week combined with the massive anger in the US at bank bailouts and obscene bonuses, the million strong march in Paris March 20 and the years of organizing document in Transforming Power, it seems that a real mass movement for progressive alternatives could be on the rise.
