The International Forum on Globalization

An inspiring global network of eloquent anti-globalization dissidents, IFG uses publishing, coalition building and high profile teach-ins to spread the Big Body alarm. See in particular their activist workbook on Emerging Corporate Rule.

The Alliance for Democracy

National populist coalition whose Call to Arms begins: "We are ruled by Big Business and Big Government as its paid hireling, and we know it."

Program on Corporations, Law and Democracy

Nationwide citizen education effort that pioneered the concept of dechartering rogue corporations. See also their ground-breaking pamphlet, "Taking Care of Business."

Corporate Watch

West coast powerhouse site on bad Big Body news from the Orient's eight directions. Hyperactive complement to the Nader-fostered sites below.

Multinational Monitor On-Line

"Tracks corporate activity, especially in the Third World, focusing on the export of hazardous substances, worker health and safety, labor union issues and the environment."

MNC Resource Clearinghouse

"Provides information on the history of multinational companies and the environmental and safety problems associated with their products and operations."

Focus on the Corporation

Hard-hitting Mokhiber-Weissman coverage of Big Body Power

RTMARK

Wondrously creative site - sponsors PR sabotage of Big Body products, and ultimately aims to eliminate their "limited liability." Occasionally, as with www.gwbush.com, directly assists campaigns against Big Body abuse of the political process.

Noam Chomsky Resources

The most potent Big Body critic of the century - though the NY Times grudged he is "America's most important living intellectual," they and the rest of the mass media consistantly refuse to cover anything he says or does, thus pretty well proving our case.

Jim Hightower

Premier voice of the Populist West - witty, wise and merciless - he should be the damn candidate.

Progressive Populist

"A newspaper that believes people are more important than corporations...reporting on issues of interest to workers, small business owners and family farmers and ranchers."

Right to Know Network

Find out what flavorful toxins Big Bodies are secreting in your neighborhood...

Boycott Microsoft

Sharp ongoing exposes of the Mother Big Body and the impact of incessant Greed-Gates

The Raging Grannies of Seattle

"We rage against 'corporate greed' and the condition of the Earth that will be left to our precious grandchildren" - Open a sister branch today!

UpFront Media Masters

Dog Eat Dog Films

Cyberlair of Michael "The Big One" Moore and his "Awful Truth" - corporate focused with a vengeance - rabid, revealing, wickedly fun. See also the People Michael Moore Likes

Paper Tiger Television

Pioneering NY public access video geurrillas who've been blasting away at Big Body-suborned media for a decade. PT's "Gulf Project" offered the only credible coverage and analysis of the Gulf War available anywhere on US airwaves.

Undercurrents Alternative Media

The Paper Tigers of Britain, Undercurrents offer strong programming on Big Body globalization, its foreign & domestic victims, and mass media-ignored adversaries.

EcoBadGuys Guess who they're talking about? Frequently updated listing of Big Body atrocity stories in fields of agriculture, pollution, human rights, Third World exploitation, etc.

Z-Net

Steeped in the wisdom of Chomsky, Zinn et illustrious up-the-establishment alii, Z-Net offers a trove of thought-provoking/action-arousing pieces that indict not only commercial Big Bodies, but their governmental, fiscal and military brethren as well.

Adbusters

Culture Jammers Headquarters - a slick, smart and savage multi-front offensive against Big Body consumerist brainwashing. See especially their campaign on the The Big Question: Is economic "progress" killing the planet?

Ad Expert Rolodex

Lists scores of specialized NGOs trying to clean up society, the environment and consciousness in the wake of Big Body media's violence, anaesthesia and hype.

The Greenwash Awards

Ironic public service from Corporate Watch exposes the most flagrantly hypocritical Big Body advertising.

AWAKENING ALLIES
- "Traditional" activists/groups now starting to turn their attention to Big Bodies

Earth First!

God bless eco-testosterone. They are still not focused on the Big picture, but when "acting locally" these guys are assuredly the killer T-cells of the Gaian immune system. For their distinctive brand of immuno-craft, see Creative Monkeywrenching

Earth Island

A protective shelter for a wide-range of rogue NGOs, Earth Island embodies founder David Brower's love and talent for radical effective action. If Big Bodies won't deliquesce peacefully, expect great things from this fearless, decentralized horde.

Rainforest Action Network

Still largely symptom focused, but elder Randy Hayes has seen the Big Body light and vows "to take at least one down before I go."

The Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund

"CELDF was founded to pursue three primary goals: first,to provide free legal services to environmental citizen organizations unable to afford them; second, to create and litigate creative new legal theories that promote citizen sovereignty over the corporation; and third, to create and maintain a Sustainable Cities program."

The David Suzuki Foundation

Host/creator of "The Nature of Things" and influential eco-columnist, David "Economics is Destroying the Planet" Suzuki remains the angry global prophet, but has also taken a sudden turn toward the "local", and is now exploring/inventing new community lifestyles for a post-corporate world.

The Data Center

Sympathetic assistance and vast resources for Big Body research.

Awakening Media Masters

Public Media Center

Imagine a brilliant ad agency "gone bad" that now only serves, leads or inflames movements against Big Body carnage. PMC has spearheaded literally hundreds of major battles from fights to save forests in Maine, dolphins in California and sacred lands in Hawaii. Best win/loss record in the business.

Mother Jones

A constant reminder of what journalism was supposed to be. You can compile an astonishing dossier of Big Body crimes and atrocities just aimlessly cruising MJ's vast archives.

Third World Network Features

Passionate, meticulous news service documenting Big Body depradations across the Third World.

Progressive Review

Extremely active site run by alternative press hero, Sam Smith. Covers major Washington news and scandals as well as systemic Big Body corruption of defense, environmental and drug policies.

Rachel's Environment and Health Weekly

Consistently intelligent reports on phenomena (usually Big Body-induced or exacerbated) currently threatening our physical and ecological well-being. Powerfully makes the often overlooked case that our personal health is so intimately wedded to the health of the environment that the two can never be meaningfully considered seperately. Obvious you say? Tell the American Medical Association. 95% of US medical schools still do not even teach nutrition, let alone ecology.

Common Dreams News Center

"Breaking news & views for progressive-thinking Americans" - Probably the best single index of enlightened commentary, columnists and news sources on the Web.

WebActive

Features "What's New in Activism Online." Especially, see/hear Democracy NOW! - "launched by Pacifica Radio in 1996 to open the airwaves each day to alternative voices traditionally excluded from the political process."

LATENT ALLIES
- Though still generally busy fighting symptoms one by one, these valiant NGOs will doubtless furnish most of the immune forces when the new diagnosis sinks in.

Greenpeace

Beloved ancestor, but still fractionates its enormous potential among too many symptoms, now including "climate, toxics, nuclear power, oceans, genetic engineering, ocean dumping, forests, and the olympics." Apparently still can't recognize the common pathogenic species behind them all.

Green Parties of North America

Still encouragingly incorrigibly unorganizable, but a hotbed of potential corporate anti-bodies, and in this phase of the game Anarchy is Good!

Worldwatch Institute

State of the World Information - acute, accurate and generally bad. Whenever you read a particularly dreadful part, look for the Big Bodies lurking in the background

IGC

Before the Internet even existed, IGC/APC networks were pioneering the Great Work of getting NGOs up and active online, Globally they now facilitate the electronic outreach of literally thousands of activist organizations. IGC alone hosts Peacenet, EcoNet, LaborNet, ConflictNet and WomensNet For a quick dizzying sample of what that looks like in action, see: Activism Links & IGC Discussion Groups. Unfortunately, there is not much interaction among these groups yet, let alone effective synergy. Incredibly, not one of their 44 discussion groups address corporate pathology in any coherent way, despite the fact that Big Bodies are clearly responsible for the crises lamented in 40 of them. So that is the next Big step...

One World

The IGC of Britain, One World offers searchable one-stop shopping for hundreds of international social change NGOs. Were they all to devote just 10% of their respective resources to Big Body demise, the revolution would be brisk indeed.

Green Education Links

Important sites to seed with the Big Body meme.

GreenMoney Environmentalist Web

Listing of soft-core environmental groups who don't appear too desperate for new tools or weapons. Hard to say what role if any these kinds of groups will play in the initial stages of transformation.
