Dear Friends,
The "Think Long Ter" Campaign will run through until February 14th 2008. In that time, we want to have reached 1,500 paying members. We are already at 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.
It is by playing a part in the collective project of giving voice to an informed and wise global democratic civil ctizenry that openDemocracy continues to build a better world. Help us do this in 2008 by joining our "Think Long Term" campaign. 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...
