Indymedia Convention Coverage 2000! on Free Speech TV

Last week, thousands of Americans descend upon Philadelphia to confront
Republican pols and fat cats. They challenged the establishment on issues
such as campaign finance reform, universal health care, the death penalty
and the reality of massive poverty in the midst of plenty that characterizes
the world of corporate "globalization." Free Speech TV and the Independent
Media Center in Philadelphia joined with hundreds of media activists to
cover the action. At week's end, over 450 protesters had been arrested. On
August 10th nearly 200 were still in jail, often beaten and brutalized by
their jailers. Rabbis and Jewish community leaders in Philadelphia issued a
statement decriying the city's treatment of protesters and "urged society to
heed the demonstrators "prophetic voices." The Rabbis called on the city:
"Do not persecute them for speaking out." ( http://www.phillyimc.org )

A new mass political movement announced its emergence in the Seattle
protests against the World Trade Organization last November. And with it was
born a new independent media, young men and women with internet, camera,
radio and writing skills, sick and tired of the homoginized balony they are
fed in the corporate media, bored by the half-stepping "loyal opposition"
pieties of the old "left media." The Philadelphia RNC was a focal point for
newly galvanized, "no business as usual" forces from the east coast" The Los
Angeles DNC is the mobilization point for tens of thousands from around the
country who refuse to listen to another crop of forked tongued, corporate
bought pols ooze how "they feel your pain" while they stab you in the back.

Free Speech TV will again provide a television and internet platform on
EchoStar's Dish Network Channel 9415 for national coverage of the week's
events. The Independent Media Center will present dozens of pre-produced
segments on the reality of life in Los Angeles, a white ruled,
overwhelmingly non-white city that concentrates some of the nation's most
intense social contradictions. These segments will form part of our 3 and a
half hours of daily live programming.

Please tune in for this historic coverage. You can watch it on the Dish
Network channel 9415. If you don't have a dish, get one
< http://members.freespeech.org/dish > or watch the programming streamed live
on the internet at freespeech.org and indymedia.org.
Democracy Now! can also be seen at < http://www.democracynow.org >
