THE CULTURE JAMMERS NETWORK

"We are a global network of artists, activists, writers, pranksters, students, educators and entrepreneurs who want to advance the new social activist movement of the information age. Our aim is to topple existing power structures and forge a major shift in the way we will live in the 21st century. We believe culture jamming can be to our era what civil rights was to the '60s, what feminism was to the '70s, what environmental activism was to the '80s. It will alter the way we live and think. It will change the way information flows, the way institutions wield power, the way TV stations are run, the way the food, fashion, automobile, sports, music and culture industries set their agendas. Above all, it will change the way meaning is produced in our society."


Four weeks to Buy Nothing Day and the Jammer's network is buzzing.
This year we're giving away twenty-five $100-$250 awards to help you organize and pull-off your actions.
Click to the site for details.

While you're there, check out the crop of downloadable posters, handbills, MP3s, clip art and web banners. Also, there are four BND TV subverts ready for viewing here.

Best of luck with all your BND preparations.

November 5-7 jammers from around the world will get together in Madison, Wisconsin, for the Media Reform conference and December 10-12 for the UN's World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in Geneva.

We'll be at both events with our year-end "Media Carta" issue of Adbusters Magazine -- I hope to see you there.
