Brooklyn LiveWork -- http://www.www.brooklynlivework.org/
In response to the escalating rent crisis in New York City and the events of December 19, 2000, when 60 people and their children were evicted into a cold December night, the Brooklyn LiveWork Coalition has formed to protect the rights of live/work tenants in Brooklyn and beyond. We are an ever-expanding group of neighborhood and housing advocates. We are working artists, small business people, and arts-related entrepreneurs who have revitalized Brooklyn neighborhoods abandoned by industry and neglected by government. We provide new models of economic activity which demand live/work spaces and mixed-use neighborhoods


Congress-- http://www.congresslink.org/
The first session of the 107th Congress began January 3, 2001. It will be an historic Congress, with a 50-50 split in the Senate and a bare Republican majority in the House. Capitol Advantage, the largest provider of legislator communications services on the Internet, supplies CongressLink with the most current information about Congress through our Congressional Information Center. Visit often to follow what promises to be an eventful Congress


Free Tibet -- http://www.freetibet.org/
Campaigns for an end to the Chinese occupation of Tibet and for the Tibetans' fundamental human rights to be respected


Overcoming Obstacles-- http://www.overcomingobstacles.org/
Too many children are not prepared to meet the challenges they face in today's complicated world. Preparing youth requires giving them an effective education. The traditional three Rs--Reading, Riting, and 'Rithmetic--are just the beginning. What is missing is the 4th R, Relevant Skills.
