Don Arbor's New CD/DVD, "Salam Pax (Peace)" Goes Global 
   
(watch the video)

I was inspired to write the song, "Salam Pax (Peace)" by the words of an Iraqi blogger who wrote during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, under the name Salam Pax-- the Arabic and Latin words for peace. Like many other readers, I felt a deep connection to Salam's insights, courage, and ironic sense of humor, in the face of inevitable war descending upon his home town.

The song and video, "Salam Pax (Peace)" honor the connections between people of different origins, and the possibility of a more peaceful world.

The "Salam Pax (Peace)" video premiered, as an Official Selection of the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival, on March 1, 2008, and is currently being aired on youtube and was aired on Linktv in March 2008. (news/media). It has also been named an Official Selection of the 2008 Berkeley Film and Video Festival.

"Undo the Invasion/Donate" 
One reason for the "Salam Pax (Peace)" project is to help "un-do the invasion"-- to try to fix what's broken, heal the wounds, and encourage a brighter and more harmonious future. Toward that end, half of all profits from the CD/DVD will go to help those who have suffered from the invasion of Iraq-- both Iraqi citizens and American service men and women and their families.

If you want to help in other ways, you can DONATE directly to CIVIC, the Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict (www.civicworldwide.org) or the American Friends Service Committee (www.afsc.org), two organizations that are working to relieve suffering caused by the war.
