Occupy Salt Lake City participants demonstrated against the Paris G20 Summit to show solidarity, they said, with other occupiers around the world.

A statement from Occupy SLC decried the summit as undemocratic, saying it empowers the International Monetary Fund to promote growth at all costs.

Demonstrators marched from Pioneer Park, where occupiers have been camped since Oct. 6, to the downtown financial district.

The G20 or Group of 20 composed of finance ministers and central bank governors of 19 countries and the European Union.
