| Hi all,
| 
| This just came out over the RNC-IMC-Converge e-mail list.  Thought it
| might help answer some of the questions people have raised:
| 
| HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT INDEPENDENT MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE 2004 REPUBLICAN
| NATIONAL CONVENTION
| 
| Overview
| 
| The Republican Party will convene in New York City from August 30th to
| September 2nd to nominate George W. Bush as their candidate for President.
| With the entire Republican leadership, 5000 Party delegates, 20,000 GOP
| supporters, and hundreds of thousands of protesters all coming together,
| this will undoubtedly be the single most significant event in the course
| of this year's historic election campaign.
| 
| Because the primary purpose of the Convention is to be a huge pep rally
| and media spectacle, the city government and Republican Party are making
| every accommodation for the expected 15,000 for-profit journalists who
| will be covering the convention. They are outfitting the huge Farley Post
| Office building to serve as a press center. They are running brand new
| phone and Internet lines. They are even constructing a bridge from the
| Farley building to Madison Square Garden across the street, where the
| Convention will be held.
| 
| That enclosure will effectively lock the for-profit journalists out of the
| streets where the most important stories of the week will be told. They
| will not hear the Restaurant Opportunities Center talk about the need for
| living wage jobs, or the AIDS Housing Network demanding affordable health
| care, or the Hip Hop Summit Action Network protest the harsh
| Rockefeller-era drug laws, or students decrying the No Child Left Behind
| Act, or the Immigrant Solidarity Network speak out on the illegal
| detentions of Arabs in the United States. The only people in the streets
| looking to record and distribute these stories will be the independent
| media.
| 
| For independent media to be successful, we need your support. We are a
| coalition of local organizers who are preparing to host and coordinate the
| activities of well over 1000 independent journalists. Dozens of different
| organizations, working in video, print, radio, web, and photo, are
| collaborating to reach millions around the world with the stories the
| Republicans do not want you to hear.
| 
| Independent media organizations cannot afford the access and equipment
| that large media corporations can. By working together and sharing
| resources, we can have a much greater impact than we could on our own.
| That means we need a large, common workspace, shared phone and Internet
| lines, computers and video equipment, money for printing, and access to
| satellite transmission for video.
