Get information about this by going to http://www.npr.org and search for
Lysistrata

Here's the project Website. The D-Day is 03/03/03
http://www.pecosdesign.com/lys/about.html

This whole concept falls under the "what if they gave a war and nobody
came" column. Idealistic. But I think the idealism of the Lysistrata
message has more effect than the real actions would (withholding sex
from the warmongering men). But one never knows the repercussions from
one person's courageous stand.
