organization promoting open, honest and accountable government.
Supported by the dues and contributions of over 200,000 members
and supporters in every state across the nation, Common Cause
represents the unified voice of the people against corruption
in government and big money special interests. MoveOn is working to bring ordinary people
back into politics. With a system that today revolves around
big money and big media,
most citizens are left out. When it becomes clear that our "representatives" don't
represent the public, the foundations of democracy are in peril.
MoveOn is a catalyst for a new kind of grassroots involvement,
supporting busy but concerned citizens in finding their political
voice. Our nationwide network of more than 600,000 online activists
is one of the most effective and responsive outlets for democratic
participation available today. TrueMajority was founded by Ben Cohen,
Co-founder, Ben and Jerry’s.

to create our own media. By publishing a public record of our
political activities on the web we are taking a stand against
the established media. We are standing up and showing that serious
activism is alive and well at the dawn of the 21st century. Everyday
from Kansas to India activists are meeting, organizing, and protesting
to demand a better world for all. When the corporate media takes
note of our activities it is only to spit upon our struggle.
We are accused of being misinformed bleeding heart hooligans
with nothing better to do than march up and down blocking traffic.
Yet the rich get richer, and we are told to be complacent, to
wait for our due. They say the environment isn't being destroyed,
it's ok to kill millions of Iraqi's with vindictive sanctions
that the billions living in slums just need to work harder, that
global domination by corporate elite is the only way. Activists
around the world are fighting for a better world. We can't rely
on the media establishment to cover our movements. We will rise
up and seize the means of communication! The National Priorities Project (NPP) offers citizen and community

a day in the electronic environment. Take Back The Media is a cooperative project by progressive
American citizens. We are dismayed at the pro-government, pro-corporate
bias shown by American media, and we intend to do something about
it. Many American share our views on how the media promotes a
pro-war, pro-big corporation agenda, and our numbers are growing
every day. While we do not advocate any violent action against
private property or citizens, we do advocate using the Power

virtual organization. It was started by one person--me, Martin
Kelley--in my home office
in 1995. Almost eight years later, it continues to be run out
of my home office in a largely volunteer capacity. As each year
has passed I've been able to identify it more clearly as a ministry.
Yet while my motivations are ultimately faith-based, for eight
years it's continued to hover more-or-less on the cusp on "New
Media" publishing. Here at the precipice of a second U.S.-Iraq
war, search engines are naming it one of most essential antiwar
sites in the world. WAMM is a nonviolent feminist organization that works in solidarity

founded by family members of September 11th victims who have
united to turn our
grief into action for peace. Our mission is to seek effective,
nonviolent solutions to terrorism, and to acknowledge our common
experience with all people similarly affected by violence throughout

national campaign that brings together a broad range of organizations
throughout the
United States to help coordinate our work against a U.S. war
on Iraq. Across the political spectrum left, right
and center, everyone says they want peace. Too often they also
want a gun, an army,
or a bomb to ensure they get the "right kind of peace." War
Resisters League is unique because we believe, to quote the late
A.J. Muste, "There is no way to peace — peace is the
way." We reject the use of violence for national defense
or for revolutionary change. Deeply influenced by the teachings
of the Indian leader, Mohandas Gandhi, as well as Thoreau, Tolstoy,
King, Deming, and others, War Resisters League believes war is
a crime against humanity. We use peaceful means to create a society
that is democratic, free of economic, racial, and sexual oppression.
The methods we use range from education to demonstrations to
lobbying to nonviolent direct action-at all times trying to see
those we oppose not as enemies, but as sisters and brothers. The Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors supports and
promotes individual and collective resistance to war and preparations
for war. This site is devoted to the cause of
non-interventionism and is read by libertarians, pacifists,
leftists, "greens," and

our opposition to imperialism. urbanPEACE is a national, spiritually-based empowerment

VFP publications. The organization includes men and women veterans
from World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, other conflicts

are easy to start and hard to stop and that those hurt are often
the innocent. Thus, other means of problem solving are necessary.
Veterans For Peace is an official Non-Governmental Organization
(NGO) represented at the UN. www.veteransforcommonsense.org Veterans for Common Sense seeks to inject the element of Common
Sense into debates over war and national security. In an age

concern over the plight of the Iraqi people, and the lack of
such concern in Washington, DC and the mainstream press. EPIC
works toward ending the UN economic sanctions against Iraq as
the only solution to Iraq's humanitarian crisis. We oppose all
sanctions that prevent or otherwise hamper a nation's ability
to provide for the public health of its people. In short, the
starvation of civilians as a method of warfare must end. Peace Action, the merger of SANE and The Freeze, has effectively
mobilized for peace and disarmament for over forty years. As

makers, youth groups, faith-based

In short, a world where wealth is defined by peace, a healthy
environment, and the high quality of relationships. PalestineToday is a joint effort of Al-Watan Center in Al-Kalil,
