The G20, an economic forum from 19 countries and the European Union, is holding its September 2009 summit in Pittsburgh. The summit and the city have crystallized as a flashpoint for activist efforts on the economic crisis, the climate crisis, and many human rights crises.

Police and deputies have repressed, attacked, and harrassed the thousands of activists who have converged in Pittsburgh for the G20 protests and the assorted events organized nearby. Chicagoans are also entering the fray, covering the protest preparation.
