Cyberpower For Peace In Chiapas: Action Alert
-----------------------------------------------
*** For immediate release: January 19, 1998 ***
-----------------------------------------------
CALL FOR VIRTUAL SIT-INS AT FIVE MEXICO FINANCIAL WEB SITES
The following call for a NETSTRIKE FOR ZAPATA on Thursday, January 29,
comes from the Anonymous Digital Coalition in Italy. It calls for
simultaneous world-wide virtual sit-ins at five Mexico City financial
institution's web sites.
Rarely have grassroots groups exercised cyberpower in this way. Clearly
people in Italy are using their creativity and imagination. This is a
unique opportunity to move into new terrain for coordinated world-wide
action. Be part of what is probably the first globally coordinated virtual
sit-in!
Below is the English version and includes correct information for all time
zones in North America. The original message from the Autonomous Digital
Coalition which includes Spanish and Italian versions can be found in the
Chiapas95 archives: http://www.eco.utexas.edu/faculty/Cleaver/chiapas95.html
