The 2010 Chicago Indymedia Year in Review

Another year passes, and Indymedia is there to chart the year that was in political activism — and what a year it was.

We present Indymedia's annual Year In Review for 2010 — a collection of the local links to Indymedia's newswire, sorted by theme.

The links are listed chronologically within each of 10 categories. The categories this year are as follows:

Civil Rights, Civil Liberties, and Human Rights
Education and Youth Organizing
Electoral Politics and Local Government
Environment and Health Organizing
International Affairs and Immigrant Rights
LGBT Organizing
Labor Organizing and Economic Justice
Media Democracy
Peace Organizing

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.
