[Imc-communication] thing that make me hate indymedia

[Randall Cotton]

Yes, this does seem at odds with what one would expect the mission of an IMC,
but I understand the UCIMC does operate as the only 501(c)3 non-profit IMC,
providing tax-free funding for the benefit of other IMCs (which not only
conserves our own funds, but it prevents funds going to the current
administration's empire-building agenda). In addition, we own a hulking building
(see http://www.ucimc.org/newswire/display_any/34385 ) that houses a radio
station, a newspaper, a performance venue, and serves as an increasingly
bustling hub for media and arts focused on social and economic justice. To keep
all this going, it would seem to me that certain things absolutely have to get
done. Keeping books and records, maintaining/renting the building and organizing
fundraising/donations.

What if no one steps forward to do these things out of the kindness of their
heart? How does one address that? Do we just let it all fall apart?

I contribute as a member to UCIMC, though I'm currently barely involved as a
volunteer. I don't claim to know the answers and I'm open to be educated. What
are your ideas for addressing this?
