               LIBERTY ACTIVISTS' LIST
                v 1.43        08/1996


So you're sick of the "War on Drugs"?  Here's an international
list of over 300 organisations in 19 countries which support drug
law reform although most of them are in the US.  Look for one
in your area.

Please distribute this list widely, and send in any groups 
which are not listed already.

There's an active group here for almost any taste.  Joining
your favourite organisation is best, though if you're worried
about persecution, just send anonymous money or a letter of
appreciation.  Take advantage of your democratic rights while
you still have some!

If you're already in a law reform organisation, you can use
this list to contact others with similar interests, and share
information or facilities.  Just knowing that there are others
working on these issues can be a big morale booster.  

The power of pro-liberty organisations can be multiplied many
times by fast and efficient communication, which spreads news
and promotes co-ordinated action.  Electronic mail and 
conferencing is the most efficient way to achieve these necessary
abilities.  For example, this list doubled its size in eight
months of circulation over the Internet.  I strongly encourage
active groups and individuals to use this powerful technology.

This listing was originally kicked off with a list of groups
reproduced with permission from the February, 1992 issue of
_High Times_ magazine (contact details at the end of the list).

Since then, it has grown considerably through the kindness of
those who have contributed additional entries, including 
Macca Macpherson, Dave Thomson and Keith Lim.
Please reproduce and distribute widely with this acknowledgment.
Post it on bulletin boards if you can.

               PLEASE SEND NEW LISTINGS

I don't know any more about most of these groups, than what
appears here.  If you know about other active groups not
listed here, or if any entries need correction, please e-mail
me at "aldis@zeta.org.au", or mail to the address below,
for incorporation in future editions of this list.

touch.  We need artists, designers, flyposters, leafleters, etc.
