Jammers,

"I had a dream the other night of a few people holding mirrors, quietly
standing in a mall, surrounded by frenzied shoppers. No explanation, no
judgment, just offering the simple power of reflection. I've got my
plan for Buy Nothing Day." -- Dania.
<http://adbusters.org>

In less than a week, millions of people around the world will take the
pledge to opt out of consumer culture. For 24 hours: "We pause. We make
a small choice not to shop. We shrink our footprint and gain some calm.
We say to McDonald's, Nike, Walmart, Exxon and the rest: enough is
enough. We build a movement to rethink our unsustainable course."

In Vancouver, we're holding a shopaholics anonymous. In New York, we're
singing the 10 commandments of the Church of Stop Shopping. In Los
Angeles, we're broadcasting spoof ads and BND info over low-power FM
radio.

What's happening in your city? Send word as your plans come together:

Highlights from around the world are going up on the site soon:

More than 3,500 jammers have joined JammerGroups in over 100 cities
worldwide -- from Toronto (130 jammers) to London (128 jammers) to
Melbourne (60 jammers). It's not too late to get involved in your city,
just visit:

BND posters are available to download. A printer, some tape and a few
friends is all you need:

Only one week to go.

Happy jamming,

Tim, Hilary and Paul

PS. A BND ad ran on the front page of this week's international
Guardian newspaper. Thanks to all who gave.
