>>On the eve of what may be the most important election in U.S. history, the
>>Indymedia network announces the launch of a new and indispensable website
>>for gathering the news and views of ordinary people across the country and
>>around the world.
>>
>>
>>
>>With its mission of publishing independent, on-the-ground reports from the
>>people who experience the news most directly, indymedia.us will amplify 
>>the
>>voices of those most directly impacted not only by the elections process,
>>but also by the policies of either a Bush or Kerry administration.

>>³Indymedia has changed the face of journalism through its creative and
>>comprehensive coverage from the front lines of struggles for social 
>>justice
>>through out the world,² says Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now!, the
>>independent public radio and TV news hour. ³With its vast network of
>>unembedded journalists throughout the country indymedia.us will become a
>>weapon in the fight for the truth about what happens on November 2nd and
>>beyond.²

>>The US IMC website centers around a syndicated wire of all featured

>>published by participating local US-based IMCs. As with all Indymedia 
>>sites,
>>the USIMC¹s open publishing newswire empowers people to become the media 
>>by
>>posting their articles, photos, videos, and audio clips directly to the
>>website¹s wire. But the US IMC¹s main function is to make the news that is

>>Says journalist and activist Rosa Clemente: ³Indymedia is the only source

>>most
>>alternative media outlets do not.²

>>There are currently 165 autonomous Independent Media Centers (IMC) around
>>the world. Over 50 of them are in the United States.

>>Indymedia is a grassroots network committed to using media production and
>>distribution as tools for promoting social and economic justice. It is
>>dedicated to addressing issues that the mainstream media neglects and 
>>hopes
>>to empower people to "become the media" by providing democratic access to
>>available technologies and information.
