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 **************************************** Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2000 22:55:52 -0400 From: John Di Stefano <•••@••.•••> 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. 1. ZNet--www.zmag.org/ZNETTOProanimation.html 2. Tao and DAMN--www.tao.ca and http://damn.tao.ca 3.
