[IMC-US] PROPOSAL: School of the Americas Protest Nov. 20-21

Mon Nov 15 20:17:45 CST 2004

Dear IMC-US-Editorial and Atlanta IMCistas (on the "Contact Info" page),

Below is a proposal for Indymedia.us which is currently featured on
Atlanta IMC.

* It seems that Atlanta IMC is not yet syndicating into the Indymedia.us
syndaication wire. It looks to me like this is the RSS feed for Atlanta
IMC features: http://atlanta.indymedia.org/features.1-0.rdf *

Atlanta IMCistas, it would be really nice if at least one person involved
with Atl-IMC could join some of working lists for Indymedia.us

I know the SOA demo is just around the corner and folks are surely busy
with that...... it would be great to have SOA coverage on
http://indymedia.us

Here are some links:

SUMMARY: Preparations for Annual Demonstration Underway

Its that time of year again, when thousands of people get ready to trek
across the country to a small city in Georgia for the largest annual
demonstration in the Southeast. Columbus is home to Ft.Benning and the
notorious School of the Americas- SOA (now called the Western Hemispheric
Institute for Security Cooperation), an army training facility which
graduates students cum laude with the finest skills in human rights
abusing and dictatorship propping up.

The yearly protest usually draws participants from as far away as Maine to
California. While Georgia has a history of under-representation at the
event, local organizers hope this year will be different. Check out info
about local events, and activties already underway in Georgia. And stay
tuned as Atlanta Indymedia brings you great coverage for the 5th year
running.

Local Events: Nov. 11- Meet Puppetmaker David Solnit,
Nipponzan-Myohoji Atlanta Dojo annual peace walk,
Footprints Peace Run from Cordele, GA
