*Hello friends of Guerrilla Translation!*

We’re writing to tell you about our exciting news here at GT - we have *a
crowdfund campaign launching today, February 29th*
<http://goteo.cc/guerrillatranslationeng> on Goteo, supporting our
commons-oriented, sustainable publishing project: *Think Global, Print Loca*l.
We’re embarking on a new adventure in collaboration, translation, and
publishing.

We’re launching a new kind of publishing network, with a team of
P2P/commons publishers in Europe and Latin America. The idea is to *“think
global”* - create a book translation and release a free e-book - and *“print
local”* - support small, local printers and publishers, and avoid
environmentally destructive long-distance shipping.

Funds raised in this campaign will allow us to kick off this new network
with a Spanish translation of a specially chosen book - David Bollier’s “Think
Like a Commoner <http://thinklikeacommoner.com/>”. We’d love for you to
join us in the adventure of growing our sustainable knowledge commons -
online and on paper! *How can you help Think Global, Print Local?*

   1. *Watch for updates.* We’re launching today, but as the campaign
   progresses we may need some support in getting more attention. Keep track
   of the campaign on our Goteo page
   <http://goteo.cc/guerrillatranslationeng>.
   2. *Donate*. If you want to support us with a monetary donation, would
   you please consider doing so in the first days of the campaign? With a
   strong base of immediate support, we stand a much better chance of
   realizing our dream.
   3. *Group support*. Have a look at our rewards page, your community
   group could help sponsor some books for another community in a
   Spanish-speaking country!
   4. *Sponsorship*. Your group could sponsor a live event, even an
   in-person appearance.
   5. *Pass it on*. When you get updates about the crowdfund, please share
   them forward to your friends and colleagues - be sure to tell them why you
   think it’s a good idea to support us.
   6. *Share*. Follow our crowdfund on Facebook
   <https://www.facebook.com/Guerrilla-Translation-151238068385765/> and
   Twitter <https://twitter.com/GuerrillaTrans>, share and please comment
   on what we post
   7. *Collaborate*. There are non-monetary contributions listed on our
   crowdfund page, have a look and see where you might lend a hand.

WE NEED YOUR HELP THIS WEEK - READ THIS!
<http://goteo.cc/guerrillatranslationeng>

With this crowdfund, we want to create a sustainable way to share
information cross-culturally with other communities through translations of
books, and have those books available to communities in hard copy - not
only digital. Our partners in this adventure are: La Libre
<http://lalibredebarranco.weebly.com/>/Cornucopia Editorial (Peru),Sursiendo
<http://sursiendo.com/> (Mexico), Tinta Limón
<http://tintalimon.com.ar/> (Argentina)
and Traficantes de Sueños <http://www.traficantes.net/> (Spain). Help
support our work in creating those translations, e-books and hard copies in
multiple locations - #ThinkGlobalPrintLocal!
