Published on April 1, 2003

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
