Co-creator of the viral Twitter hashtag and movement Black Lives Matter to speak at Brockport!

Alicia Garza, social activist and co-creator of the viral Twitter hashtag and movement Black Lives Matter, will speak at The College at Brockport, State University of New York, on Feb. 24. Garza’s talk will take place at 7 pm in the Seymour College Union Ballroom and is open to all.

Garza, who is currently the special projects director for the National Domestic Workers Alliance, is an established social activist who says she is committed to challenging society to recognize and celebrate the contributions of all individuals, specifically black people and queer communities. Her activism is rooted in organizational strategies to connect individuals and emerging social movements. She is also a prominent advocate for the preservation of an open Internet to provide a space for these movements to emerge.

Account Creation Policy Change

Rochester Indymedia is now requiring editor approval for account creation.

We came to this decision after we had repeated spam posted to our website that caused difficulty with the website's functioning.  We will still have open publishing and keep our site as nonrestrictive and accessible as possible.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.  As before, we will continue to be Rochester's grassroots news and education site.  Thank you for your continued support and remember, "Don't hate the media, be the media!"

Editorial Meeting Times / Locations

The Rochester Independent Media Center (R-IMC) is no longer meeting regularly.
We will set up meetings by necessity and appointment. Please contact us at rochesterindymedia@rocus.org.
Our home is still the Flying Squirrel Community Space at 285 Clarissa St. Occasionally, we hold meetings at RCTV located at 21 Gorham Street.
