Dear Friends,
The "Think Long Term" Campaign will run through until February 14th 2008. In that time, we want to have reached 1,500 paying members. We are already close to 1,000. But we need your contribution: it will keep openDemocracy independent. Click here to give.
Continuing our "Think Long Term" themes, David Hayes, our Deputy Editor, has published his perspectives for 2008. He lists 12 sets of issues that need our attention, and points to the dangers of their complex inter-linking: a sense of weariness and powerlessness in the face of global conflict; a combination of empowerment from new information technologies but also of helplessness in the media torrent; a destruction of collective identities and a profusion of attempts to fill the void.
At oD we are working in every way we can to encourage the growth of active open-minded and wise citizens around the world. Please help us. Click here to give.
With best wishes,
Tony Curzon Price
Editor-in-Chief
PS - If you have given already and you are still receiving these emails - Many Thanks! and please be tolerant of the email torrent...
