Hey punk!What if we didn't want this war? What would we do then? What if the millions of underground labels and bands and djs and singer-songwriters and puppeteers and perennial critics and punks and promoters and fanzines and hip mamas and filmmakers and indie seamstress designers and independent publishers and everyone else on the outskirts of culture - all of US, the natural enemies of oppression, of war, of propaganda and hypocrisy MADE AN ISSUE of our opposition? Most people or organizations doing public work keep a website going - what if we each used a corner of it to publicly declare our dissent and publicize alternative new sources and protest organizing activities? So, here is The Proposition 1) That the pursuit of independent underground culture is inherently anti-fascist and anti-imperialist. 2) That the MAIN media is already minimizing the opposition to the upcoming war on Iraq and ALSO limiting information and discussion of a host of other things going down: secret trials, suspension of civil liberties, loosening of environmental protections, weakening of labor unions, tax giveaways to the super rich, etc etc etc. ad nauseum. 3) That it sure would be NICE to see labels, bands, venues and others people and groups on the inside of independent underground culture make the bridge from ABSTRACT OPPOSTION to PARTICULAR EDUCATION and ACTION. so... There must be a bajillion ways to do this - and if any of us believed that ONE SIZE FITS ALL we wouldn't be here anyway - but one way, and the way we're suggesting for RIGHT NOW, is this:PUT A NOTICE ON THE FRONT PAGE OF YOUR WEBSITE. Take as little or as much space as you want, include as much or as little of your own statements and analyses as you want, but at a MINIMUM tell your constituency that: THERE WILL BE WORLDWIDE PROTESTS AGAINST US WAR ON IRAQ SATURDAY FEBRUARY 15th CLICK HERE FOR THE SITE NEAREST YOU and provide a link to http://www.unitedforpeace.org/calendar.php?bydate=02-15-03 --------------------------------- If you think this is a good idea, how 'bout you do it, then add your name to the list at the bottom here and forward this message to as many people or organizations with websites that you'd like to see put their cards on the table?
