Jobs, Justice, Climate: G20 St Andrews
On 7 November, the banner was in St Andrews for a meeting of the G20 Finance Ministers discussing the economic crisis. The Branch joined the people of Scotland and the wider UK urging the Ministers to stand up for billions: "the world cannot go back to business as usual. We must put people first by delivering on jobs, justice and climate".
Progress was made with commitments by Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling for a transaction tax to regulate the kind of financial speculation which has caused global crisis.
