The Fairtrade Foundation pointed out this YouTube video of Saturday's Put People First march. The march gathered over 35,000 people from a variety of organizations to come together to send a clear message to the world leaders meeting at the upcoming G20 summit that business as usual is no longer going to work.

The video is a birds-eye view of the march where you can see the Fairtrade Foundation's bananas in the center-right of the screen, where they eventually join in on the march. The video also lets you hear a powerful speech outlining the goals and message of the rally.

According to the Put People First team, an exciting alliance has been born and the march is not the end of the campaign, but only the beginning to keep pressure on world leaders to find a fair and sustainable way out of the recession.
