An evening with the co-authors of We Are Everywhere: the irresistible rise of 
global anticapitalism (Verso, 2003). Recently returned from Iraq, they 
will present images and stories from the Iraqi resistance and global 
protest movements.

A multi-media report-back from photojournalist and co-author Andrew Stern 
who was working in Iraq with Naomi Klein, (author of No Logo), grassroots 
organizer and co-author Jennifer Whitney, who participated in the popular 
uprising in Argentina and organized the shut down of the WTO in Seattle, 
along with filmmaker David Martinez and British activist Jo Wildings who 
also recently returned from Iraq where they were kidnapped by the 
resistance and released unharmed.

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.” Two of the book’s co-producers, author Jennifer 
Whitney and photojournalist Andrew Stern, along with filmmaker David 
Martinez, are traveling throughout the US in order to present not only the 
book, but also the results of their further research and investigation into 
international protest movements and their ties to the growing anti-war 
movement. Stern and Martinez are just back from their second trip to Iraq, 
and will present hard-hitting images 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.
