The site is constantly updated by activists around the world, with a wide variety of activities listed. At press time, for example, the site included notices about a Eureka, California march to end violence against environmental activists, a protest against the production of land mines and nuclear weapons components at Alliant Tech Systems in Minnesota, and a Washington, D.C. conference on abuses by the World Bank and IMF, sponsored by the 50 Years is Enough network and hundreds more. The extensive listing is almost enough by itself to disprove the myth that activism is dead in the '90s. The site's creator, Evan Henshaw-Plath, a computer programmer in Amherst, Massachusetts, told Sojourners that Protest. Net is just the next step in using the Internet for activism.
Net lets people quickly find out what other activists are doing.
