At the Table is made up of international NGOs, poverty groups, climate change groups, students, faith groups, organized labour organizations and more than 60 Canadian groups working on G8 and G20 issues. At The Table supporters will gather around hundreds of tables – in restaurants, living rooms, church halls, town squares, classrooms and online meeting spaces – to tell world leaders they need to live up to their promises to meet the Millennium Development Goals and cut world poverty in half by 2015. Politicians from all levels of government will be invited to join these table discussions. Supporters will create a huge photo petition in cyberspace which will be presented to world leaders at the start of the Summits.

About the Campaign

At The Table is an umbrella campaign mobilizing citizens around the world to "take their place" at this year's G8 and G20 summit tables. We're a coalition of Canadian and global civil society organizations who want world leaders to make bold decisions on poverty, climate change and economic justice. The At the Table campaign encourages organizations to use our tools and events to make their voices heard on key issues and gain supporters in the process. Our actions range from individual acts to high-profile media events. The campaign is a political force that cannot be ignored.

Campaign Goal

At The Table's campaign goal is to increase awareness and support for bold action on poverty, climate change and the global economy at the major global summits in 2010, including the G8 and G20 summits in Canada, the G20 in South Korea and the United Nations Millennium Development Goals Summit.
