>> of
>> information about the
>> summit (the first information on the EEF was published here!) and the groups

>> Actually,

>> would-be catastophe/apocalipse allegedly going to take place togehter with

>> appearance of protesters in Warsaw. We are particularly interested in
>> presenting
>> the voices from the alterglobalist movements/ groups, which are pictured by
>> the
>> official media as "the main threat to young Polish democracy"....
>> 
>> As an young IMC - collective (Polish imc exists since 2002), we do not have
>> any
>> financial resources, and not many options to foundrise in Poland. We want to
>> secure
>> fast access to information for the time of EEF both for us and for IMC people
>> from
>> other countries and this involves having a space for indymedia work (with
>> connection to internet) which could serve as an information centre. Therefore
>> we
>> decided to ask you for some financial support.
>> 
>> We haven't got our own place in Warsaw until now. We tried to cooperate with
>> some NGO's previously, but they dont want to give us a space for independent
>> media activities for the time of the EEF. We will need the space not only
>> for the time of the summit, but also for before - for workshops, meetings
>> with people willing to join imc for the time of the summit. We also plan to
>> publish printed edition of news from imc site.
>> 
>> Our basic needs are:
>> - renting a space for the imc - we will either try to rent some cheap space
>> from the city (to get that we need to pay 3 months rent in
>> advance); or - we will try to rent an internet cafe (risky option, since
>> the police will probably try to convince its owner to not to do that); (300
>> USD) 
>> - connetcing the place to internet (100 USD)
>> - printing a newspaper for the time of the protests (100 USD)
>> 
>> we count 4 PLN for one USD (now it is exactly 3,80 PLN, but this is changing
>> all the time) 
>> 
>> We would need much more money, especially to print leaflets and other
>> materials about the independent media and the current polish situation, but
>> we
>> will try to arrange it somehow. We are going to supply hardware, video
>> cameras,
>> cariers etc. Ourselves as well. We would also need much more equipment,
>> materials
>> for backups etc. and we will try to organise them. We will probably try to
>> fundrise
>> also in one activists foundation, but we donit know the possible result of
>> this,
>> since it is so close to the summit already.

>> ---------------REQUEST-[es]---------------------
>> 
>> EN el fin de abril (de 28 hasta 30) vamos a tener en Varsovia (capital
