*Midwinter Greetings from the collective at Twin Cities
Indymedia<http://tc.indymedia.org/>(TCIMC), your local chapter of the
global
Indymedia <http://www.indymedia.org/> network! *You're likely receiving this
message because you're listed on our organizational contact page.* To sign

group's members and supporters.

Not familiar with TC Indymedia? We're an all-volunteer independent DIY media
group dedicated to the passionate, radical and accurate telling of truth. We
report from inside social movements against capitalism, imperialism and
injustice in the Twin Cities. And we run an open publishing website, meaning
*you and your group can instantly publish your news, views and events* and
see them appear on tc.indymedia.org.

As a loose-knit collective, we also leverage resources to aid groups like
yours in the Twin Cities: reporting live from the streets at a
demonstration, telling the stories of women resisting foreclosure, or
providing video evidence to help wrongly-accused activists fight their
charges.

*---Share your stories!---*

How?  It's easy -- just click, type and publish.  It's even easier once you
create an account at tc.indymedia.org/register.

Is your group doing an action?  Do you have a well-researched piece of
analysis?  Is there a union campaign at work?  Want to see your event
