Peacenet Organization

The grass-roots peace movement has gone high-tech with computer networks that link activists worldwide as they organize against war in the Persian Gulf, according to organizers of a network based in San Francisco. The activists have not stopped handing out leaflets to win followers, but many are typing summaries of their activities on personal computers and shipping the reports directly to PeaceNet, a network that claims 8,000 subscribers in 50 countries.
