Many of the media activists who use the site today to campaign on subjects such as civil liberties, immigration and Climate Change, will be present to answer your questions.


This multi-media event will chart the rise and struggles of Indymedia from the foot hills of the Chiapas, to Reclaim The Streets, Mayday, the G8 and beyond.
Mixing music, audio, video and live presentations, the evening will inform and inspire
