BE THE MEDIA
Organizing meetings to form a Central Valley Indymedia Center will be held later this month.
BE THE MEDIA
Are you tired of corporate media moguls ignoring stories that are important to you? Don't hate the media, become the media! Join others in the Central Valley and help create an independent media and news organization.
Indymedia is a collective of independent media organizations, ordinary citizens and hundreds of journalists offering grassroots, non-corporate coverage. Indymedia is a democratic media outlet for the news that corporate media neglects.
Want to help start one? Come to an organizing meeting for starting a Central Valley Indymedia Center. There will be two meetings:
1. The Fresno organizing meeting will take place on Thursday, January 22 at 6:30 PM at the Fresno Center for Nonviolence, 985 N Van Ness. For more information call (559) 226-0477 or email MikeRhodes [at] Comcast.net
2. The Sacramento organizing meeting will be held on Saturday, January 24 at 4:00 pm in the SEIU meeting hall, 1911 F Street in downtown Sacramento. For more information email imc-sac [at] indymedia.org

There were about 50 people at the meeting! Some had come from Fresno, some from Stockton and other towns outside the metropolitan Sacto area. I had to leave early so I'm not sure whether we decided to remain as the Central Valley page on the indybay.org site or start our own, or do both.
It's a good time to expand our reach. True, our weekly free entertainment paper (Sac News & Review) is beyond liberal and approaching radical sometimes. Plus we have a quarterly paper ---Because People Matter--- that prints 15,000 copies. KVMR "up the hill" in the foothills (which has Democracy Now) and KDVS in Davis (which carries Free Speech Radio News). Our cable access station has a number of progressive programs and also carries KPFA for us now that a commercial station took over 94.1 on the dial (some coincidence, eh?)
But getting democracy back to citizens requires a lot more. Having an indy media center will open up a lot of possibilities for activism and citizen participation up here. Thanks, Bay Area and Fresno, for your support. Stay tuned.
