WTO action:

VIRTUAL SIT-IN´ ON A LEADING WTO WEBSITE PLANNED TO
COINCIDE WITH THE WTO´s SEATTLE CONFERENCE

For details of how to take part visit the NEW
´electrohippies´ website at:

http://www.gn.apc.org/pmhp/ehippies/


TARGET WILL BE REVEALED AT 00.01GMT, 30/11/99
to 03/11/99


A new website has started up to promote ´virtual activism´ in the UK and

Europe. The site is all about taking action, and undertaking civil
disobedience, using the core of modern society - it´s electronic
information
and communications infrastructure. Why? Because technology
enables a lot of the destruction that takes place in the world, but like

most technology it is not innately bad - it´s just the people who are in

charge of it. Technology also allows people to have anonymity because
their
communications and planning are kept remote from the public arena.

What we´re out to do is change all that by extending the philosophy of
activism and direct action into the ´virtual´ world of electronic
information exchange and communications. Of course, in the scale of
things
we can´t hope to be more effecting than an annoying mosquito. But we can

let them know that the can´t use technology as a veil to obscure the
public´s
concern about the future of the planet.

IN SUPPORT OF THE GLOBAL ACTION TO MARK THE WORLD TRADE ORGANISATION´S
SEATTLE
CONFERENCE, WE WILL BE PROVIDING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO
TAKE PART IN AN ON-LINE ´VIRTUAL SIT-IN´.

At midnight, Greenwich Mean Time, on the 30th November, the ´action
page´
will be loaded with information on how you can register your protest
against
the WTO´s Seattle conference. The page will operate for seven days.

We hope that during this period you will access this page as often as
possible
and take part in the sit-in. There will be precise details
posted on November 30th. There will also be files to download in order
to set up mirror-site´s on your own server in order to spread the
capacity
of the sit-in. If you would like to receive the files direct by email on

November the 30th, along with all the information on how to run the sit
in from where ever you are in the world, then send a request to
ehippies@tesco.n
et.

We hope that you enjoy participating in this event.

Once again, the address of the site is:

http://www.gn.apc.org/pmhp/ehippies/
