Website promotes local activism
The creators of The WNC Activist (www.wnc-activist.org)
say that their hope is to serve two primary functions: as a
networking tool among activists in the region and as a point
from which the general public can find out more about the issues
at hand and how they can get involved. Features of the site
include an online events calendar; a discussion board; areas
for posting Calls To Action, local resources, and info about
local groups and other resources. The website’s management invites
people to suggest new features.

GLOBAL REPORT
This issue marks the last of the spring distribution of the
AGR in the Triangle area. Starting next month, the Triangle
Free Press will make its debut, as a monthly publication at
first, for the summer. This fall, the newly formed Triangle
Free Press staff plans to publish a weekly newspaper and community
resource that covers local and global issues and gives the communities
of Orange, Durham, Chatham, and Wake counties reportage not
found in other area publications. See our web page, www.trianglereport.org,
or better still, come to our weekly meeting at the Durham Food
Co-op, Sundays at 6:30pm. Help build a new community resource.
