Do you really think this will work?

We believe that this war can be averted if we take action now. Nonviolent action has a long history of significant victories, and by working together we can let the leaders of both our countries know that we stand united against this war.

How can I help out?

First, send us your photo. Then get your friends to the the same, either by helping them upload their pictures to this site, or by using our tell a friend page to send messages to everyone you know. If you have a blog or a website, you can get buttons and banners on our spread the word page. And be sure to get on our email list - it's the best way to get involved and get updated on this campaign. (You can sign up using the form on the right-hand side of this page).

Can I participate if I'm not from the US or Iran?

Yes! We welcome anyone to upload their photo, get on our email list, and join the campaign. We hope to get participants from around the world.

What will happen to these photos?

Any photos uploaded to this site will become part of the Enough Fear campaign. They will be used on this website, and we may use them in future actions by projecting, printing, or through another medium. These photos will only be used as part of the Enough Fear campaign to avert a war between Iran and the US.

What kinds of photos can I upload?

Please only send photos of yourself holding up your hand in the international signal for "stop!" You may show your face, or obscure it behind your hand. Photos can be up to 1.5 megabytes and in JPG, PNG or GIF formats (JPG is preferred).

Do I have to enter my name and location when I upload my photo?

No. If you do include your full name and/or mark your location on the map you'll find on our "Submit your photo" form, we'll use that information to give people visiting this site a better idea of how far this campaign has spread, but you don't have to include this information. The only requirements are that you include a photo and either a your first name, a nickname, or an alias of some kind.

Why hasn't my photo appeared on the site yet?

All photos are checked by our staff. We approve photos as quickly as we can - please be patient. If we feel that a photo is inappropriate for this campaign, it will be discarded.

Do you need help with translation?

Yes! We are actively seeking translators to help us spread this campaign. If you would like to help out with English/Persian translation, please contact us.

Who's behind this campaign?

The Enough Fear campaign was created by The Action Mill. We are artists and activists who create nonviolent actions, websites and other tools for campaigns. We did mostly local actions until the evening of the 2004 election, when we started Turn Your Back on Bush, which organized people from 47 states to travel to Washington DC for President Bush's inaugural parade, where they took part in a simple, clear action. Turn Your Back on Bush grew from two people and a website to organizers all over the country and a full-time volunteer staff of fifteen in two months time, and simultaneous actions were organized in Brussels, London, and Mexico City. You can learn more about that campaign at www.TurnYourBackonBush.org, and more about the Action Mill at www.ActionMill.com.
