Association
for Progressive Communications (APC) is a global network of networks
whose mission is to empower and support organizations, social movements
and individuals through the use of information and communication technologies
to build strategic communities and initiatives for the purpose of making
meaningful contributions to human development, social justice, participatory
democracies and sustainable societies. Composed of a consortium of 25
international member networks, APC offers vital links of communication
to over 50,000 NGOs, activists, educators, policy-makers, and community
leaders in 133 countries. The main purpose of the APC member network is
to develop and maintain the informational system that allows for geographically
dispersed groups who are working for social and environmental change to
coordinate activities on-line at a much cheaper rate than can be done
by fax, telephone, or for-profit computer networks. To obtain information
on its partners and members is well worth a visit (for addresses and links
