This Evening of Conscience follows
on the heels of the September 19 publication of the Statement as
a full-page ad in the New York Times. Signers of this statement
(in addition to those performing) Include Robert Altman, Laurie
Anderson, Oliver Stone, Gore Vidal, Jane Fonda, Mos Def, Martin
Luther King III, Susan Sarandon, Barbara Kruger, Allan Gurganus,
Michael Eric Dyson, Ozomatli, Jonathan Schell, Viggo Mortensen and
hundreds of other noted artists, public intellectuals and activists.
The statementās comprehensive criticism of the Bush policies, and
call for resistance, marks a new phase in the national debate over
the "war on terrorism," and its concomitant, if undeclared, "war
on civil liberties."
The October 3 Evening is presented
by the Not in Our Name Statement of Conscience Signers and co-sponsored
by the Cooper Union Continuing Education and Public Program Office.

On Sunday October 6, JOIN thousands at the great gathering
