May First/People Link
May First/People-Link is a membership organization that redefines the concept of “Internet Hosting Service” in a collective, progressive and collaborative way. It is the largest membership Internet organization in the Americas and one of the few that is organized in both the United States and Mexico. It’s a fully bi-lingual organization and fully democratic — the major decisions about the organization are made by its members and carried out by a Leadership Committee that is member-elected. Besides members’ sharing of Internet resources like web-hosting and email, MF/PL participates in many coalitions in the U.S. and world-wide (including the U.S. Social Forum where it has long played a leading role). In this video, MF/PL founder and current LC member Alfredo Lopez explains what the organization is all about and why people should join it.
That the left of the Americas develop and mobilize around a program that effectively uses the Internet, protects its independence and freedom, and allows the technology to bring us together more effectively and powerfully.
What you can do for the Internet!
You created this movement called the Internet and you built it, protect it and develop it so it reaches the potential we all want and need.
