Subject: [haltWAR] world wide online demo

The "Over My Dead Body" project is a world wide, online, virtual
demonstration, politicising the major themes of globalisation and the
economy, the environment, etc. The federating platform is the promotion
of "the politics of generosity" to unblock the stranglehold of financial
and nationalist self-interest upon the world's destiny. It is evident
that the current war against Iraq enters within a definition of
corporate imperialism: thus protest against the war is currently at the
top of the "Over My Dead Body" project's agenda.

People are invited to participate, and are represented symbolically in
the demonstration by their name, place of residence, and if they so
wish, photo, and virtual placard. Thus people from the four corners of
the globe may march together, and in this way the demo is a powerful and
active metaphor for fraternity. Take a moment to watch people pass by,
seeing where they come from and what they say.

The site also contains a section called "The State of Things", which
presents an evolving portrait of the world today. The "About" section
contains the project Manifesto, and other information.


Also, here is the "Over My Dead Body" project newsletter with six
antiwar posters. Be free to distribute widely!

I cordially invite you to come join the demo with us! Please make a link
to the "Over My Dead Body" project. And forward this message to your
family, your friends, your colleagues, your mailing list... The presence
of each person is important: a trickle becomes a torrent that becomes a
tidal wave, rolling for change.

Yours sincerely,

Joe Rabie.
