hi all, i'm a volunteer with a 2-year old internet-based group for progressive and feminist women and men called Women Leaders Online. (http://wlo.org). we currently have a one-way listserv with AOL to send weekly alerts to 5,000 subscribers. now we are trying to start a two-way list to discuss new strategies for achieving equality for women. i recently learned that members of this list occasionally offer to host listservs for worthy causes and wondered if anyone might be interested in our new list. with any luck, we hope to have about 500 subscribers and maybe 5 messages per day. if anyone is interested, it would be great if you could reply personally to me, since i'm not subscribed to this list. regards, bob Description of WLO-Project WLO-Project is a 2-way discussion list intended to empower women in American politics, society, the economy, the media, and cyberspace. The Internet has created an historic opportunity to connect unlimited numbers of women and sympathetic men across geography, age, race, religion, income, education, and experience. We believe that if we can figure out how best to work together, we can bring about far-reaching positive change, limited only by our imagination, enthusiasm, and basic good sense. WLO-Project will focus on initiating organizing projects which take advantage of the opportunities created by the Internet and other new technologies. These projects will be proposed by and implemented by the subscribers to the list, working as volunteers in ad-hoc committees in coordination with Women Leaders Online. Possible ideas include recruiting a woman candidate for President in the year 2000, ensuring the availability of jobs for women thrown off welfare, campaigning for more feminist editorial writers and "pundits", creating awards for the best women's web sites, and starting a woman-to-woman mentoring project. WLO-Project is sponsored by Women Leaders Online (http://wlo.org), the largest women's advocacy group on the Internet with over 5,000 subscribers. Our goal is to build a network of one million women and sympathetic men, so women can have a real impact on American politics and society for the first time in history.
