Internet World-Wide Web

The Internet World Wide Web is becoming an important tool for activists to exchange information and build campaigning strategies against TNCs. Unfortunately, you can only use it if you have the right computer hardware, software and access to the Internet. If you do not, try asking resource organisations for help.
