These are the favourite web sites of Sean Healy, national coordinator of Resistance, the socialist youth organisation that has organised the high school student demonstrations against racism around the country. Sean's list appeared in the Icon section of the August 22 Sydney Morning Herald, slightly amended. This is the original list.
Resistance
Resistance's own site tops the list, of course. Hits on the site have increased considerably since the high school walkouts, and the site will carry all the details for the next walkout on August 28. It has sections on anti-racism, women's liberation, international solidarity, the environment, and education. The site is in the process of loading on the extensive Australia-wide media coverage — pro and con — of Resistance and the high school walkouts against racism. Through the site you can also subscribe to the high school e-mail list, Student Underground (STU_U). <http://www.peg.apc.org/~resistance>
Green Left Weekly
Australia's best and most widely circulated progressive newspaper, which Resistance and the Democratic Socialist Party help produce and distribute. Extensive coverage of Australian politics, anti-racist actions, the environment, women's liberation, trade union struggles, international events and a comprehensive calendar of left events in your city. It's 32 pages in printed form, and all 329 back issues are available free on the web. <http://www.greenleft.org.au>
Democratic Socialist Party
The DSP site is very extensive, with DSP documents, books, pamphlets, reports, leaflets and press releases, and information on all the campaigns the DSP is involved in.
