Outreach for this 1,600-member national alliance of computer

science educators and others interested in the impact that computers are 
having on society. 

CPSR's National Office in Palo Alto, CA, provides logistical, technical 
and financial support for volunteer activists throughout the country who

to local policymakers.  Current projects include an on-line campaign to 
oppose legislation to deregulate the telecommunications, cable television 
and media industries; monitoring the introduction of Caller ID technology; 
and promoting the development of community networks to provide access to 
new sources of information for the less privileged members of our society.  
Other issues of interest to CPSR members include privacy and civil
