PLEASE FORWARD AND POST WIDELY:

This is an invitation from the Los Angeles Independent Media Center
Collective to join us at our first meeting for 2009. This will be the
First meeting of the 10th anniversary year of the Independent Media
Center! Unreal! It's been almost 10 years since the Battle of Seattle
.....and the beginning of a Revolution in Media. So here we are now, at
this weird historical crossroad, and looking at what promises to be one of
the most interesting and exciting times in recent history.  From a
story-telling perspective, LA Indymedia is already in the unique
position to tell that story...whatever it turns out to be, from the voices
of the people living it.

So come and bring your ideas; whatever they might be. Bring your passion
for social justice and for communication. Everyone is invited. It
doesn't matter how experienced or not you feel you are about making media.
Come prepared to share skills and to learn. We are all media makers. Every
time you tell a story you are creating media. Come be part of what is a
true community space...a space where there is room for all productive and
growth oriented points of view. Come be part of a
collective project where there is room to experiment, explore, develop
skills and discover new strengths

One of the projects we are looking at realizing this year is a 10 year
anniversary celebration of the Independent Media Center. We have
discussed creating an event where the last 10 years of LA Indymedia will
be exhibited in photo, sound and video culled from the archives from the
last decade. This is a wonderful time and opportunity to get involved with
the collective and explore the history of  the Los Angeles movement for
the last 10 years from the people's perspective.

Even if you think that you don't have much time....or don't feel you can
get involved with yet another project, you are still welcome to come meet
us and find out what we're up to. Being part of LA Indymedia might not be
more than being witness to an event and documenting it in one paragraph so
others can know about it...or taking a picture with your cell phone and
posting it. Whatever your involvement, however large or small; it and you
are welcome. If you're part of another group that is also doing media or
any other community project, let's hook up and see how we can work
together.

When:  The meeting is scheduled for Saturday morning, January 24th at 11 am.
Where:  Casa de Sousa- 634 N. Main St., LA, 90012
              (It's in Olvera Street....across the street from the Union
Station Metro stop)
