Greetings Renaissance Network,

John DiStefano is practically a neighbour here in Nova Scotia, although he
comes from New York City. He's a veteran activist as well as a veteran of
the Korean war and was one of the many people who represented the rest of us
in Seattle last fall. He sent me a list of useful web sites which I am glad
to pass on to you. 

Just let's not forget our own cyberjournal site: http://cyberjournal.org

BTW, John is planning to travel from Nova Scotia to Washington for the IMF
protest effort in about a month's time. If anyone is interested in
travelling with him, please let him know.

all the best, Jan

Subject: Some Activist Web Sites

<snip>
I'm enclosing a selective list of 50 activist web sites I find most useful, not
necessarily on a daily basis.  If I had to choose only one out of the list it
would be ZNet, since it is very broad and diversified in its coverage and
offerings, non-sectarian but radical,  and speaks to the entire community
concerned about social change.  I support it financially but most of its approx.
30,00 viewers/day  pay nothing.   That's because only the ZNet Daily
Commentaries and Forum are on a subscription basis. They are basically a
fund-raiser to support the entire ZNet operation..

You can put this list out on the Web if you like, and anyone receiving it is
free to contact me about errors or appropriate additions if they wish. Hope
you find it useful if you're not already familiar with some of the sites.
