Vote Pambazuka

Pambazuka News is the weekly social justice forum (circulation: 500,000) I recommend to everyone for news and analysis on key issues in Africa. I served as Pambazuka's Books and Arts Editor in 2006, and continue as an occasional contributor. You can read my pieces here.

During the post-elections crisis in Kenya, Pambazuka created the Action Alert Page for Kenya. This was a vital real-time global-access resource for latest reports and statements from the struggle. Pambazuka also set up and moderates the general and strategy group listserves for Kenyans for Peace with Truth and Justice (KPTJ).

For three years running, Pambazuka News was voted one of the top 10 sites that are changing the world of Internet and politics, by PoliticsOnline and the World eDemocracy Forum. This year, Pambazuka is once again in the top 25 picks, the only Africa-related website to have been shortlisted.

The judges write:
This prestigious award seeks to recognize the innovators and pioneers, the dreamers and doers who bring democracy online. This year marked the toughest year ever in choosing the top 25 finalists.

The deadline for voting is September 8, 2008. Please cast your vote for Pambazuka News TODAY.
