[van-announce] "We Are Everywhere" Event MAY 28th (not April 28th)

[jessica]

Sorry for any confusion about the original post showing April 28th, it 
should read as MAY 28th!  I guess I'm still a month behind!

This Just In: We Are Everywhere tour joined by San Francisco based 
filmmaker David Martinez and British activist Jo Wilding! Recently 
returned from Iraq where they were kidnapped by the resistance and then 
released unharmed, they will present video and stories from their 
experiences.

Friday, May 28,  7 pm
@ SFU Harbour Centre (515 West Hastings Street)
Sliding Scale $5-10 (no one turned away for lack of $$)

(partial proceeds will go to help re-build Spartacus Books and to the 
Land, Freedom, Decolonization Coalition)

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,
