The largest demo in LA history may occur on Saturday.

The largest demo in LA history may occur on Saturday. The messages will be dominated by the organizations and politicians. Their voices are not enough.

If you come across an interesting story to relate, or have an interesting story about immigration, the Sensenbrenner bill, impressions about the march, or the growth of the police state, please prepare it and share it on Indymedia. It's important that the march be documented, by the participants. The stories must be shared, to build up a body of knowledge, created by and for those most affected.

It's especially important that women and immigrants speak up. There are plenty of American men on Indymedia sites; they need more diversity.

One easy way to get stories is to record audio. Some versions of the iRiver player record. There are microphones for the iPod that cost around $30 to $35 and record. Or record to audio tape or video tape and feed the recording into your computer sound card (you can use Sound Recorder) to record it. Encode the audio to MP3 or OGG and upload it.

If you need to edit the audio, get this free program called Audacity, and it'll help you edit audio with cut and paste. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
