The 2010 Chicago Indymedia Year in Review

Primary tabs

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

We present Indymedia's annual Year In Review for 2010 â€” 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
