Help report what's happening by sending your reports from the streets.

The Indymedia reporting numbers are for informing Indymedia about what is happening around the Wave demonstration and Climate Camp "Cop Out Camp Out" on 5th December to enable an accurate picture of the events to be reported on the Indymedia London website, and to create a timeline of reports (like this one from the taking of Blackheath Climate Camp in the summer).

Indymedia only works through your participation!

The Revolution Will be Tweeted: Activism in the Age of User Generated Content

The images coming out of the aftermath of the stolen election in Iran have ranged from inspiring to horrifying. Photos and videos depict streets flooded with hundreds of thousands of demonstrators. There also are the visual results of such bold acts—those beaten and bloodied being tended to by their compatriots. With professional journalists sidelined by Iranian officials, much of this media is being produced by amateur journalists and distributed via the internet. Despite the extraordinary measures taken by the Iranian government to restrict information flow, grassroots communications continue. Cell phone service is cut, the movement of international journalists’ is restricted, and internet sites are blocked. Yet the pictures, videos and blog reports keep coming. Each a testament to the power of mixing human will with advanced technology. Click and link below for the full article ...

Ten years have passed since the first Indymedia site came to life in November 30th 1999. Media activists came together for the first time during the amazing anti-WTO summit protests  that took place in Seattle (US), kick starting the emergence of a global 'movement of movements' that has spent this decade struggling against neoliberalism, war and environmental destruction.

But this has also been a Movement that has shown a capability for constructing collective processes for democratic and horizontal alternatives to Capitalism. Indymedia is a good example of such a living alternative. For ten years a global network of websites, collectives and individuals have been working together to maintain the IMC project alive and kicking. There are many examples of successes, as well as a few instances where both Indymedia sites and indiviuals have had to face repression and even death in the hands of state repression - Brad Will, presente! . But Indymedia has not gone away, not even for a minute during these long 10 years, and it is set to continue moving forward with new strategies and energy.

Happy Birthday Indymedia! .. and here is a toast for another 10 years of alternative communication and information!

Indymedia London wants to hear from YOU! We've come up with a survey to find out what users and contributors think of the new site. Please take the Survey if you are reading/posting to or in some other way using or contributing to Indymedia London.

28th London Anarchist Bookfair, Queen Mary & Westfield College, Mile End Road, London, E1 4NS.

Tuesday 20th October, 7.30pm at the Royal Festival Hall

(We usually meet on the Mezzanine Floor, when you get in, walk up one flight of stairs and then all around, looking for a group of people who look like they're having a meeting and are possibly fiddling with fancy phones and laptops. Better to get in touch beforehand if you haven't been before, as the venue is large and confusing and potentially crowded.)

Police have dropped their controversial six-month investigation of a Sheffield IT worker who had a minor role administering the activist website Indymedia UK.

During the Anarchist Conference this weekend, some of us from Indymedia London took the time to ask people what they thought of Indymedia, what our job is in relation to the anarchist movement, how well we're doing it, and so on.  Here's what we found out.

Apologies for the minor downtime just now (as far as we can tell it was only a few minutes).  Due to the recent server seizure, Indymedia London has been crowded onto a new machine with relatively small disks, and we ran out of disk space, which has all kinds of strange effects on a running website.  We'll be looking to improve the situation in the near future.
