[imc-atlanta-ed] April 10 coverage from Atlanta?

[Amy L. Dalton]

Hey IMC Atlanta folks,

I'm writing in anticipation of the upcoming day of protest for
immigrants rights on April 10. Is your collective planning to do
coverage of events in your area? Or, have you run any background pieces
on this issues, or interviews with the protest organizers, or even
better, stories by organizers?

I'm working with several folks from the IMC-US editorial team to try to
coordinate and highlight as much timely grassroots coverage as possible
of this quickly growing movement. It seems like a great time to use the
IMC network because nothing has moved people like this issue has in the
last month! We are going to be building a sub-page on the indymedia.us
site to link to all the events, so please be in touch as your coverage
plans develop. It would be especially great to get video and audio of
the protests, and to encourage as much first person reporting from the
events as possible.

I can't tell if the Atlanta IMC is currently set up to syndicate
features to the US wire, but even if you are not we can still include
links to any feature you create. If your site does syndicate, remember
that local imc stories only syndicate to the US site if the local imc
promotes them to features. If you have any questions about this process
let me know --

Solidarity,
Amy
