Hi. I'm Liz Castro. I'm American and live here in Massachusetts, where today it's really cold!
25 years ago, I lived a while in Catalonia, and now I feel Catalan myself.
Since then, I've been trying to explain just what Catalonia is to people around here.
Behind me you can see my two flags.
All of a sudden, the world is watching Catalonia.
The demonstration on September 11th has gotten their attention.
And it's important that the world talk about Catalonia but it's even more important
that the world understand just what Catalonia is. Don't you think?
The world should have a clear idea of what you want, and why you want it.
That's why I decided to publish a book, in English, that explains Catalonia to non-Catalans.
It's written by 35 experts, like Oriol Junqueras, Vicent Partal, Núria Bosch,
Elisenda Paluzie, Salvador Cardús, Maria Carme Junyent, Xavier Vila, and many more.
They explain Catalan history, economics, politics, language and culture.
In order to publish and distribute this book, we need your help.
We want to send 500 copies of the print book to libraries, newspapers, and politicians all over the world.
We want to put the book in people's hands.
To do that, we hope you'll help us promote this project.
We hope you'll help me explain to the world exactly what is going on in Catalonia.
And please share this project with your friends.
Thanks a lot.
