   www.adbusters.org is the international headquarters for culture jammers everywhere.  The father of the International Buy Nothing Day, they are the source on the internet for those sick of the consumer philosophy of Western culture

     www.fair.org is the media watchdog that carefully reports and catalogues the abuses of corporate media outlets

     www.rut.com is a website dedicated to alternative theories of urban development.  Especially of interest to those who are concerned about suburban sprawl and urban decay in their major cities

     www.bidstrup.com Scott Bidstrup's personal web page is probably the best series of papers I've found in seven years of surfing the internet.  Topics range from debunking conservative politics to attacking Christian fundamentialism and so-called "creationist science" to gay and women's rights.

     www.freespeechtv.org Audio/visual stories featuring alternative politics and pressing social issues.

     www.indymedia.org  The Independent Media Resource Center is a grassroots media organization with news from around the globe.  A must-read for the global activist.
