Hello Everyone,

   Margo Adair and I have been talking about the upcoming general meeting on
the 16th (I assume 7-10pm, since we need that much time to start to sort
things out)and would like to ask for some help from you in planning the
meeting. We want to do everything possible to have a save and productive
meeting that will lay out the issues to be dealt with and get the work done
necessary to make Seattle IMC viable at whatever level it needs to be.

Since there is likely to be too much for one meeting (after all-500 years of
capitalism and 4 years of seattle IMC is a lot to deal with in 3 hours), we
would like you to let us know what you think about some questions. The first
set will help prepare you for the meeting and the second set will help us.
Please send these letters directly to HYPERLINK
"mailto:info at toolsforchange.org"info at toolsforchange.org. They will be held
as absolutely confidential unless you specifically say otherwise. 

Margo and I are happy to be of service for this meeting to help lay the
groundwork for the future of Seattle IMC.  There is a lot of potential to
hold a space for independent media in Seattle, and a lot of decisions and
work that needs to be done in order to make it possible.  So lets go forth
and make media.

Remember, the enemy is corporate media and ignorance, lets not eat our own
selves up…..

In Solidarity,

Bill Aal (riseup and Tools for Change)

and Margo Adair ( Tools for Change)
