>>Hi there,
Just a quick email to let you know of the launch of UKWatch (www.ukwatch.net)- a
website I have been involved in developing. The site exists to promote a better
understanding of UK political, economic and social issues whilst hopefully helping to
encourage cooperation between activist groups. We will be providing daily content on
a wide range of issues and we aim to eventually have a majority of original content on
the site. The site will soon be operating as the UK watch area of Z-net
(www.zmag.org). A project such as ours depends upon the support of its users. If you
consider our site to be of value please inform others about us and help spread the
word. Below is a more formal introduction to the site.
Thank you for your time,
Alex Doherty

About UKWatch
UKWatch exists as a resource for all those interested in developing a radical critique
of UK politics. Based on the model of Z Net (the highly successful US-based activist
resource), the site aims to provide the same breadth of information and sense of
community, while also being dedicated to achieving social change.
The site is updated daily with specially selected comment, analysis and opinion pieces
focused upon UK politics, economics, society and culture. The site also strives to
provide tools for further research by linking to related resources, websites and print
materials. It aims to provide space encouraging debate and research, as well as a
forum for developing a broad, cross-issue appreciation of the challenges facing the
radical activist left in the UK.
Behind UKWatch lies the belief that radical alternatives for positive social change are
not only urgently required, but also achievable. Only by appreciating the
interdependence of issues facing the left can coherent visions of progressive change
be developed. We particularly wish to promote constructive visions of a better society
and work that discusses the tactical and strategic choices required to achieve them.
Toward this end, the project seeks to encourage organisations, authors, activists and
scholars to share their knowledge and experience with others in the UK activist
community.
The site is run on a not-for-profit basis and administrated voluntarily. It will never carry
commercial advertising.
