Oblivion.net Oblivion publishes a zine promoting youth rights.  Oblivion is (kinda) published quarterly.  Oblivion a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation that's got mad angst.  We enjoy all kinds of zines. We only review zines that focus on youth issues. We haven't reviewed music, but we might if it's particularly relevant to youth. The same goes for movies and everything else.

Peacefire Peacefire.org was created in August 1996 to represent the interests of people under 18 in the debate over freedom of speech on the Internet. The Web site and mailing lists are maintained by Bennett Haselton, who is now a freelance programmer in Seattle. Peacefire has about 5,000 members on our mailing list as of January 2000.   Peacefire is a "people for young people's freedom of speech" organization, not a "young people for freedom of speech" organization.  In other words, you can join at any age if you are against censorship for students and people under 18 in general.
