Shortly after the 9/11/2001 tragedy and one day after the US began bombing Afghanistan (on October 8, 2001), We, The World and our co-sponsors convened one of America's first major Teach-Ins to address the sources of the crisis, alternatives to retaliation and what's needed in the future.

We brought together many of the world's foremost visionary thinkers and activists to share information and discuss ideas that you are unlikely to hear anywhere else. Now you can hear their moving and informative words from this historic event. The CDs are beautifully recorded and have track numbers corresponding to each speaker's comments! So you can jump instantly to each of Amy Goodman's pointed remarks, Daniel Ellsberg's passionate comments or anyone else listed in the enclosed detailed program.

These panel discussions are particularly important now in light of the fact that the Afghan war is still raging 10 years later.

Panelists shared ideas and information you are unlikely to hear anywhere else. And there were many important ideas that emerged from the audience as well.

These CDs can be used during discussion groups, salons, forums, in classrooms, to spark debate, raise consciousness, and stimulate action. They are particularly useful since each of the speaker's presentations has its own CD Track index number!

PROGRAM

(The format for each panel was as follows. Panelists addressed the audience individually for approximately 10 minutes each. Then there was a discussion among the panelists for about 15 minutes. The rest of the time was devoted to questions and comments from the audience with responses from the panelists.)
