New EDIN Web Site of Progressive Info & Web Links
http://garnet.berkeley.edu:3333/
=========================================================
The Economic Democracy Information Network (EDIN) is pleased to
announce the creation of its Web site to supplement its long-established
(in Net time :) gopher site. Hailed as one of 29 "Highlights of the
Internet" by PC COMPUTING, the EDIN gopher site (at garnet.berkeley.edu
1250) has been a key site on the Internet for a whole range of
progressive economic, labor, diversity, gender, socialist, environmental
and social welfare information. EDIN is a project of UC-Berkeley's
Center for Community Economic Research.
The new Web site encorporates that past information and adds new
links and plans for innovative projects over the next year, including a
broad RACE & THE CALIFORNIA ECONOMY information site. One of the hottest
parts of EDIN is the 187resist gopher, which archives files and discussion
lists on the battle around defeating anti-immigrant attacks--THE NATION
magazine described our work as something that "could lead organizing into
the 21st century."
Other information located originally at EDIN includes a Labor
Issues archive where the Los Angeles Manufacturing Action Project, the
Labor Project for Working families, files on labor unions around the
world, and four major union mailing lists are archived. EDIN assisted in
the creation of an archive of health information around single-payer to
inform the public during the California fight for Prop 186.
EDIN also archives the Report on the Crisis in California, the
University Conversion Project, key NAFTA and GATT discussion documents,
selections from the Applied Research Centers RACEFILE, prison and
criminalization issues from CTWO's RAPSHEET, archives of Third party
information for the New Party, Green Party, and Peace & Freedom Party,
socialist information around the Committees of Correspondence, Democratic
Socialists of America and the National Organzing Committee along with
international groups like RED FORUM.
It has one of the most extensive extensive archives of
progressive e-mail lists on the Net and gives full back issue access to
magazines like CROSSROADS and DIALOGUE & INITIATIVE.
Beyond the information stored at EDIN, the EDIN web will link you
to labor, environmental, and racial liberation information across the
Net, from Arthur McGee's archive of on-line resources to the National
Association Of Broadcast Employees/CWA to the Chiapas Web site to the
Queer Resources Directory to MOTHER JONES magazine.
