We Are Everywhere: the irresistible rise of global anticapitalism was
described by Canadian writer Naomi Klein as "...the first book to truly
capture and embody the exuberant creativity and radical intellect of
the protest movements."

Stern, Martinez and Wildings are just back from Iraq, and will present
hard-hitting images, stories and video from the streets of Baghdad and
Fallujah to accompany Whitney's analysis. The presentation is a multimedia
performance comprised of several elements: a slideshow and video from the
current uprising in Iraq, a video highlighting the diversity of various
threads of resistance around the world, an exhibition of beautiful photos
and illustrative quotations from their book, a brief talk on the current
situation in Iraq and the connections between the anti-war movements
and the global anticapitalist movements covered in We Are Everywhere,
and an open discussion with the audience.
