Help Us with a Book about Indymedia
NYC-IMC Print Team
2006-06-04 11:41 AM
This book would not attempt to be the definitive statement on Indymedia. Rather, it would be an overview of some of the triumphs and struggles of the network over the past five-and-a-half years. Its entries would range from dramatic, stream-of-thought, first-person pieces to more analytic chapters on the meaning of Indymedia. The book, while thoughtful, would avoid being overly academic and would be graphic/picture heavy.

Sunsara Taylor: Drive Out the Bush Regime
repost
2006-06-02 10:13 PM
I know everyone hates plot-spoilers, but the story line is overplayed and the ending is worse than lousy, so I’ll say it now: The will of the people will not be expressed in the 2006 election.

July 15 No G8 International Day of Action Against Climate Change
rtna
2006-05-27 4:07 PM
July 15th will be an International Day of Action Against Climate Change. As G8 energy ministers promise trillions in new subsidies to the industries destroying our planet and our future, we will take action to shut them down! This is a call for autonomous, decentralized actions appropriate for your town, city, or bioregion. Use this international day of action to support local struggles against oil refineries, gas pipelines, strip mines and coal-fired power plants. Disrupt the financial backers of the fossil fuel industry. Host teach-ins to spread sustainable post-petroleum living skills. Find a weak point in the infrastructure of resource exploitation and throw a literal or symbolic wrench in the works. Visit your local polluters and give 'em hell! (text/plain)

(1) Work to build an open community of activists
(2) Develop national reach via the internet (indymedia newswires, email lists, etc)
(3) Develop theoretical tools that will allow us to think about and talk about our long-term goal (text/plain)
Why I Cannot Support The Troops In Iraq
populist
2006-05-11 6:22 PM
...it is absolutely necessary that I ask who, in fact, should be held responsible for the ongoing destruction of a such a substantial portion of the infrastructure of Iraq, the death of half a million children during an earlier embargo, the killing of as many as 100,000 innocent Iraqis, the deaths of 2,500 American soldiers, and the horrible injury of at least 25,000....
