                              PEACENET:  
                   INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS FOR 
                        PEACE AND HUMAN RIGHTS
                          peacenet@igc.org

     "For the information we need to organize, we must turn to 
     PeaceNet.  If you don't have a computer and modem, find someone 
     who does."  Tony Avirgan, Investigative Journalist in Costa Rica

     "Getting to know peace workers all over the world is enormously 
     encouraging.  It is wonderful to share resources and ideas with 
     people I could never meet."  Margaret Phillips, American Friends 
     Service Committee, St. Louis, MO

     "The Gulf war proved that PeaceNet is invaluable in gathering 
     news deliberately filtered out by the establishment press."  
     Larry Bensky, National Affairs Correspondent, Pacifica Radio
