The Indymedia site, as you know can and does.   Acting as a powerful clearinghouse of information, Activist around the world are able to witness and participate in the full spectrum of progressive events. <br><br> The Indymedia web site has been a great vehicle for expressing my passions for social justice and photography.  What I&rsquo;d like to propose is this.  Anyone interested in participating in an e-mail user group designed to exchange event information and insure IMC coverage is encouraged to contact Jim (<a href=\"mailto:builder123@mindspring.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">builder123@mindspring.com<\/a>). <br><br> As a side note the &ldquo;photo exchange group&rdquo; idea came up at the IMC meeting a couple of weeks ago and I sat on it until last Saturday when something happened and that something is this: <br><br> DNA AWARNESS MARCH &amp; RALLY FOR PUBLIC SAFETY <br>  <br> Tuesday August 27th. 10 am &ndash; 1 pm <br>  <br> Downtown LA <br>  <br> For more information call 310-645-9249 or 323-935-0114 or E-mail Rainbow Sisters Project at <a href=\"mailto:RBSistersProject@aol.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">RBSistersProject@aol.com<\/a>  <br>  <br>   <br>  <br> One of the organizers asked me to photograph the event and I can&rsquo;t.  It sure would have been nice to e-mail the group to find somebody that could. <br><br> Your thoughts are welcomed, <br>  <br> Jim <br><br>  <br><br>  <br>  <br> <\/p>\n","contact":"builder123@mindspring.com","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Calling all Picture Takers!!
