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 film maker 
David Martinez and British activist Jo Wildings, 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, 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.

If you would like to be on our mailing list (which will consist of tour updates 
only), can help out with publicity -- particularly flyering, getting us 
hooked up with pre-show radio interviews, or would like more information, 
please email us at everywhere at riseup.net.  Hope to see you along the way.

Thanks so much!

All the best,
