[New-imc] [Fwd: [Imc-bulgaria] Invitation to Participate, Call for Action]

[Val T]

Here's attached the invitation that I sent to the Bulgarian 
Anarcho-Resistance official email address anarchy at bulgaria.com from 
their own website http://resistance.hit.bg

They didn't respond. However, 6 months later someone from a different 
email address claims:

We have looked for other groups
and people to cooperate with for realization of
Indimedia Bulgaria, but finally we decided to start
this project alone (with individuals from some
environmental groups), because there were no other
serious interested people and groups. We hope that
after starting of this project more people will be
involved.

Invitation to Participate, Call for Action

We're a group that coordinates the work on Bulgarian branch of the 
Independent Media Center Network (IMCN), which unites thousands of 
freelance journalists and activists worldwide. Indymedia is an 
alternative source of information which is neither controlled by any 
corporation or government, nor is a mouthpiece of any party or organization.

Indymedia started in 1999, in order to cover protests against the World 
Trade Organization which came to be known as "the battle of Seattle". 
Now IMCN comprises more than 150 Independent Media Centers, committed to 
the principles of equality, decentralization and autonomy. The network 
is not derived from a centralized bureaucratic process of hierarchical 
or authoritarian structures, but rather it's based on self organization 
of autonomous collectives which consider open exchange of and open 
access to information a prerequisite to the building of a more free and 
just society.

The future IMC Bulgaria has also set specific Bulgarian agenda, 
including educational and instigative goals in the esteemed traditions 
of our national Revival. Botev's journalism and Levski's organizational 
skills are our milestones. We strive to preserve our national identity 
under the political, economical and cultural pressure of corporate 
globalization and imperial militarism.

This is an invitation to participate and a call for action! If you want 
to take part in this project, contact us at 
imc-bulgaria at lists.indymedia.org . If you know someone holding similar 
views and ideals, you can forward this invitation to them. Mostly, we 
are looking for  volunteers who are translators (mainly English) or have 
some journalistic skills and experience, but also comrades already 
involved in some forms of politic activism. Of course, anyone who wish 
to land a hand will be welcome too.
