Organizing is under way to create a new Indymedia Center in the Central Valley. Here are the details about the meetings that have been set up to organize this project.

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. 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@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@indymedia.org
