[Imc-finance] REQUEST for financial support

Indymedia Uruguay está discutiendo la propuesta del CMI Polonia.

Pensamos que es una propuesta justa, montar centros de prensa durante fechas tan
importantes es parte fundamental de Indymedia. Así lo demuestra la historia de
la red. También es bueno que el pedido es concreto y solo se pide para gastos
necesarios.

Pero nos gustaría saber más sobre el alquiler del local ya que nos parece mucho
3 meses para usarlo 3 días.

por eso hacemos algunas preguntas.

- ¿Tienen algo pensado para el resto del tiempo de alquiler? algun uso extra.
- ¿No hay posibilidades de que otra organización (sindicato, colectivo, ong,
centro social) les preste un espacio para la oficina?

aparte

- el periódico va a ser de distribución gratuita o paga?

saludos solidarios

ENGLISH (sorry google was here)

Indymedia Uruguay is discussing the proposal of IMC Poland.

We think that it is a good proposal, make media centers during so important
dates is a fundamental part of Indymedia.  As show the history of the network. 
Also it is good that the request is simple and only requested for the necessary
expenses.

But we would like to know more of the rent of the local since it seems to us
much 3 months to use it 3 days.

for that reason we make some questions.

-Do you have any idea for the rest of the time of rent?  any extra use.

-Are theren't possibilities that another organization (union, collective, ngo,
social center) give a space to you for the office?

...

- the newspaper is going to be free distribution or pay?

in solidarity

| 
| From the 28th till the 30th April Warsaw, the capital of Poland, will be
| the
| host of the European Economic Forum, which was usually taking place in 
| Salzburg, Austria. The Polish president invited the Forum to Warsaw, and 
| more and more of his compatriots disagree with his great hospitality. They
| want to
| protest against the EEF. Among many anti-EEF initiatives organized by local
| activists there are demonstrations (www.antyszczyt.w.pl), the Alternative
| Economic
| Forum (www.wa29.org ), happenings, street theatres etc.   
| 
| Polish collective of Indymedia (www.pl.indymedia.org)  is keenly interested
| in
| providing comprehensive coverage of these events. Already now there is a lot
| of
| information about the 
| summit (the first information on the EEF was published here!) and the groups
| 
| willing to protest against it on Polish imc. In opposition to corporate media
| we
| try to present also the voices of opponents of the neoliberal politics.
| Actually,
| together with polish independent information service www.poprostu.pl we
| constitute
| the only alternative to corporate media in Poland, which are prophesizing 
| the
| would-be catastophe/apocalipse allegedly going to take place togehter with
| the
| 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.
