The G-20 countries are the architects of the global economic crisis.
While they held their elite and exclusionary sessions there were
protests and instructional forums by international representatives
of the people suffering the policies and practices of the G-20. One
such organization in protest is Social Watch who unveiled their 2009
Report, People First. Social Watch is also in the United States to
lobby the attendees of the UN General Assembly meeting to
respond to the economic crisis of developing and the poorest
countries.
