Digital Activism - The First Big Wave

Trying to Prevent the Invasion of Iraq

Timeline

Information sharing -- websites and listservs

Information resources -- new ones sprung up -- commondreams and truthout, for example. Also Ameicans go elsewhere for information. High percentages of Americans reading the Guardian (England) and al Jazeera English language web sites before and after the invasion / occupation.

There are / were probably 10s of thousands of listservs devoted to the peace movement. I'm guessing 100+ in Seattle alone -- mostly neighborhood based.
