CALL FOR VIRTUAL SIT-INS AT FIVE MEXICO FINANCIAL WEB SITES 

The following call for a NETSTRIKE FOR ZAPATA on Thursday, January 29, 
comes from the Anonymous Digital Coalition in Italy. It calls for 
simultaneous world-wide virtual sit-ins at five Mexico City financial 
institution's web sites. 

Rarely have grassroots groups exercised cyberpower in this way. Clearly 
people in Italy are using their creativity and imagination. This is a unique opportunity to move into new terrain for coordinated world-wide 
action. Be part of what is probably the first globally coordinated virtual 
sit-in! 

Below is the English version and includes correct information for all time 
zones in North America. The original message from the Autonomous Digital 
Coalition which includes Spanish and Italian versions can be found in the 
Chiapas95 archives: http://www.eco.utexas.edu/faculty/Cleaver/chiapas95.html 

In solidarity with the Zapatista movement we welcome all the netsurfers 
with the ideals of justice, freedom, solidarity and liberty within their 
hearts, to sit-in the day 29/01/1998 from 4:00 p.m. GMT (Greenwich Mean 
Time) to 5:00 p.m. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) in the following five web 
sites, symbols of Mexican neoliberalism:
