| 25 | 4 -- Association for Progressive Communications |
| 26 | |
| 27 | The APC is probably the largest international network of progressive on-line communicator organizations in the world. Founded in the mid-1990's by the Institute for Global Communications (Labornet,Peacenet,etc.), the Association involves non-profit Internet and technology organizations in countries throughout the world. |

| 29 | APC has recently been less robust than it has in the past but a new leadership is now involved in reviving it and we have sought to get in on the action. We are now a member of APC. |

| 31 | APC has a variety of strategic approaches to different issues and movements but its fundamental approach strongly favors non-governmental organizations of high profile and considerable budget. In short, it's a very different approach from the Social Forum movement (at least the Social Forum movement in this Hemisphere). |
