Hiya process, network and ionnek,

Thanks to all kollectives for the quick responses to the email i sent  
here a few days ago:

http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-uk-process/2009-January/0129- 
28.html

  For the moment the groups willing to sign the letter are:

- Nottingham:

http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-uk-process/2009-January/0130- 
5u.html

- Bristol:

http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-uk-process/2009-February/0202- 
i9.html

- Oxford:

http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-uk-process/2009-February/0202- 
0o.html

- Birmingham:

http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-uk-process/2009-February/0202- 
x6.html

And this was also mentioned at the last London meeting a few days ago  
and it was decided that London also wants to be included as a signatory.

So i guess letters can start to be sent out to ionnek's list of  
contacts :-)

Also all the kollectives that have replied also offer 'extra' help.  
Well, we think one of the best things people and local groups could do  
now is to help spread the news about the seizure, and to try to collect  
as many statements of support as possible. So feel free to send this  
letter to any academic contacts people and kollectives may have, as  
well as to media (independent or otherwise), civil rights and civil  
liberties associacions, unions, whatever you can think of.

This would help a great deal in terms of creating a public cushion for  
imc-uk, it's like stating imc-uk its not alone, which can become quite  
useful.

Anyway, so far what has been sent (and some contacts that haven't been  
sent yet) are listed in this wiki:

https://we.riseup.net/ionnek/server-seizure-imc-support-campaign

In there you can also find templates of letters to advocacy groups,  
journalists and groups outlets, and the academics / researchers one.

Please feel free to email any of the contacts listed in that wiki, and  
if you do so please amend the wiki accordingly.

if you mail people don't forget to attach the press release that it is  
here:

https://we.riseup.net/imc-uk/2009-server-seizure-press-releases

If you contact anyone that is not listed in the 'support' wiki above,  
please add it to the wiki too in its relevant section. As we said  
before, now the more noise the better, and the more 'statements of  
support' that can be gathered the better too.

Once people gets responses (statements of support) they can then be  
added to the 'Indymedia UK server seizure 2009' info page;

http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/01/420278.html

Nice one, and get emailing! :-)

maqui
