And for the early birds: Start the day with the Whistleblower Sun Salute. Gather at Brandenburger Tor to welcome June 5 with a whistle-blowing session led by Colin Hacklander of N.K. Projekt. Limited number of whistles will be provided; bring your own if possible. Meet at Pariser Platz. Whistleblowing begins at 8:00 AM sharp. Be on time!
Come pay tribute to Edward Snowden and other whistle blowers who shed light on institutional & governmental misconduct. Blow your whistles to show support for those who act in the public interest & in the defense of democracy! Bring any whistle, to experience ‘participation’ in this public display of individual lung-capacity stamina multiplied into collective sonic mass.
Information will be provided including legal definitions of Whistleblowing, statements from Snowden and new arguments on civil disobedience as the public is invited to share this simple visceral experience of physically blowing whistles together.
Here comes the sun!
