We are very pleased to announce that the Santa Cruz Independent Media
Center's website will now be regionally integrated with Indybay.org, the
website of the San Francisco Bay Area Independent Media Center. The new
website address for Santa Cruz Indymedia is http://indybay.org/santacruz.

Together, as media activists in Central and Northern California and
throughout the world, we will use the tactic of Indymedia to share news
and information from within the struggles for a world based on freedom,
cooperation, justice and solidarity, and against environmental
degradation, neoliberal exploitation, racism and patriarchy.

Indymedia erodes the dividing line between reporters and reported, between
active producers and passive audience: people are enabled to speak for
themselves. We will share an open publishing newswire of text, photos,
audio and video contributed directly to the Indybay website and Santa Cruz
IMC will have a newswire specifically for articles relating to the
Monterey Bay Area.

For Santa Cruz IMC, this is a chance to expand our website resources to
include a page en español as well as topic and regional pages. A photo
gallery and bittorrent downloads are some of the other new options for
viewing and distributing media contributed to SC-IMC. The open-publishing
newswire for SC-IMC is now separated into the following three sections:
Local News, Global News and Other/Breaking News.

The Santa Cruz IMC Calendar also has a new website address:
http://indybay.org/santacruz/calendar. This calendar is specific to the
Monterey Bay Area, but is also integreated into Indybay's calendar for the
Bay Area, Central Valley and North Coast.

http://indybay.org/santacruz is now ready for your articles, photos, audio
and videos and you can now post event announcements to SC-IMC's new
Calendar located at http://indybay.org/santacruz/calendar.

Please select "Santa Cruz IMC" when publishing to both the newswire and
calendar.

All articles published on santacruz.indymedia.org will remain archived so
you can still view all the articles and link directly to them. January 31,
2006, will be the last day to add a new article or comment to

At some point in the future, as Indybay volunteers update the code that
runs Indybay.org, an attempt will be made to merge content from
santacruz.indymedia.org into http://indybay.org/santacruz.

larger issues on our community. Santa Cruz Indymedia is not a membership
