Dear TCIMC Supporters,

Twin Cities Indymedia <http://tc.indymedia.org> isn't a typical media
outlet.  Like all Indymedia collectives worldwide, we don't claim
neutrality<http://tc.indymedia.org/page/about>.
Instead, our passionate coverage comes directly from inside social
movements--movements in which our volunteers participate.

Together, through our popular website and our less visible community work,
we and you both make trouble for imperialism, injustice and oppression.

To continue doing so, we need to make a little money, too.  Please
contribute today, either through a one-time or sustaining monthly donation.

*Your monetary donations will be used primarily for:*

   - *SPACE* - We're working to partner with other organizations for
   physical space in Minneapolis/St. Paul, at first temporary and hopefully
   with a permanent location in the next 4-12 months.
   - *EQUIPMENT* - As equipment wears out and hard drive space fills up, we
   need new goods to loan out and cover events

*Your monetary donations will NOT be used for...*

   - ...paying us--NO Indymedia volunteers are paid.

And in the spirit of mutual aid and cooperation, *here are 3 things we
currently have to offer in return*, regardless of your ability to donate,
that you may not have known about:

   - *Customized workshops/trainings* on mediamaking skills.  We can present
   and collaborate with your group of 4 or more people on topics such as video
   (both shooting and editing), DIY reporting, press release writing, action
   media, using the Indymedia website and more.  Sessions could be as short as
   30 minutes or encompass multiple sessions, and happen at your organization's
   regular meeting or a special time. Contact us for
details<http://tc.indymedia.org/contact>
   .
   - Lending of *videocameras, accessories, and a projector* after
   completion of a short training and signing an
agreement<http://tc.indymedia.org/page/participate>
   .
   - The ability to post your news and promote your
event<http://tc.indymedia.org/publish> in
   minutes on our website. (Not everyone knows this... tell your friends!)

It isn't easy for truly independent radical institutions to survive. Help us
remain and grow as a resource for Twin Cities social movements by donating
today, whether you can afford $5, $50, $500 or some amount in between.
Monthly donations give us the most help, and put you first in line for
special goodies when available – and of course our adoration.

Immigrant Rights.  Foreclosures.  Police Brutality.  Decolonization.  Queer
and Trans Liberation.  War and Peace.  Racial Justice.  Environmental
Justice.  Economic Justice.  All these fronts and more are interconnected.
Together, we can *make media and make trouble*.

*In Solidarity,*
*Jaime and the TC Indymedia Collective *
