This is to announce that Empowerment Zone now has its own
domain name on the world wide web:  www.empowermentzone.com . The
latest web browsers will generally support empowermentzone as a
single word at the prompt for a location (they guess a prefix of
www. and a suffix of .com).

The previous address, www.smart.net/~empower , still works, as does
the original address, ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/jamal , but
the new address is the best one to use, especially for links from
other web sites.

To the best of my knowledge and verification, Empowerment Zone has
the largest public, plain text, organized collections on the
following subjects:

*accessible education

*accessible housing

*accessible travel

*civil rights

*employment

*financial advice

*funding assistive technology

*gender, relationships, and sexuality

*health care

*HTML, CGI, and Perl

*independent living

*Java

*legal help

*political action

*popular applications, including Eudora, Internet Explorer, Lynx,
Netscape, Notes, Pine, Word, and WordPerfect

*rehabilitation

*self development

*Social Security

*telecommunications

*Windows

The motto of Empowerment Zone is "helping individuals and
communities achieve self actualization and full citizenship."  Its
resources may be viewed online or downloaded with any web browser,
text or graphical.  Suggestions are welcome for additions to this
site or pointers to related collections.

Best wishes in your personal and political empowerment!
