Note, there is no image for this one yet.... Other than that it's ready  
to go. I think we can post it without a picture.

HELP US SUPPORT SOCIAL MOVEMENTS AND MEDIA MAKING IN SOUTH AMERICA!

Indymedia was founded with the goal of democratizing the media and  
putting the tools of communication and the media making in to the hands  
of activists who are struggling to make another world a reality. As  
part of our mission for activists to 'become the media' we have setup  
indymedia centers in over a hundred cities around the world. But in the  
global south, IMC's and social movements they work with desperately  
need equipment. The indymedia <a  
href="http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Global/SendingComputers"tech  
solidarity project</a> is about getting computers in to the hands of  
imc's and activists in the global south.
<P>
In November we shipped 240 computers to Ecuador to support indymedia  
and a broad coalition of anti-globalization groups. Read the <a  
href="http://www.salon.com/tech/feature/2002/09/23/antiglobal_geeks/ 
index.html">salon.com article</a> or <a  
href="http://www.whisperedmedia.org/watch.html">watch a video</a> about  
the first shipment. As a followup we are shipping about 250 computers to
<a href="http://argentina.indymedia.org">argentina</a>,
<a href="http://uruguay.indymedia.org">uruguay</a>,
<a href="http://brasil.indymedia.org">brasil</a> and
<a href="http://chile.indymedia.org">chile</a>. To do this we
need $7.000 that we are trying to raise through a grassroots fund  
raising campaign. That's less than $30 a computer.
<P>
