May First/People Link's first annual Membership Meeting was a resounding success and, taking this decisive step to the building of a genuine membership organization, participants discussed reports, approved a work plan and elected a new Leadership Committee. The meeting report is now available.
Shortly before his death this past April 1, Dr. Manning Marable taped a series of six short videos about his biography of Malcolm X and the political and social lessons that emanate from Malcolm's life.

Democracy Now . A must-see.

Welcome! May First/People Link is a politically progressive member-run and controlled organization that redefines the concept of "Internet Service Provider" in a collective and collaborative way. May First/People Link's members are organizers and activists. Like any democratic membership organization, we gather together each year to evaluate the past year's experiences, plan the coming year's work and elect a Leadership Committee to apply what we've decided. Like a coop, we pay dues, buy equipment and then we all use that equipment as we need to for websites, email, email lists, and just about everything else we do on the Internet. Learn more about us, our politics, membership, or read some of our member profiles below. If you like what you see, please join us.
