The CRIS Campaign (Communication Rights in the Information Society), launched in November 2001, helps protect cyberspace from large corporations restricting information access to only those who can afford to pay. The CRIS mission, ?to enhance human rights and to strengthen the social, economic and cultural lives of people and communities,? while building ?an information society based on principles of transparency, diversity, participation and social and economic justice,? will be explored and promoted at The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in Geneva in December 2003 and in Tunis in 2005. CRIS is ?an open campaign, drawing together existing groups and activists.? For more information on how you can get involved, email act@crisinfo.org, or visit the CRIS web site.
