>introductory_statement:
>The recent political shift and popular uprising against election 
>falsifications have harvested a huge mobilization of political enthusiasm. 
>Activist groups are unifying to fortify a popular base of resistance to 
>government corruption and maintain vigilance against corporate 
>exploitation. Activists are eager to connect to the global arena with the 
>hopes of sharing strategies, issues, and open international dialogue about 
>nonviolent protest and solidarity. IndyMedia Ukraine would also allow 
>Ukrainian activists to preserve the strength of popular power by 
>reclaiming the right to publish their own news. IndyMedia would help 
>activist groups circumvent heavy internal censorship and break into a 
>global discourse and support system regarding internal changes that push 
>Ukraine closer to globalization while inciting strong internal 
>solidification against exploitation.
>
>resources:
>Activist groups are beginning with  minimal accessories, although it seems 
>likely and probable that resources in order to fund the set-up will be 
>found. We would need clarification of what exactly is required. In terms 
>of organizing skills, the people working on the IndyMedia Ukraine project 
>come with a background of solid facilitation experience, as journalists in 
>local newspapers, leaders in direct action protests, political science 
>students, and share other backgrounds of active preparation for completing 
>projects such as this.
>
>outreach:
>People involved on the IndyMedia Ukraine project span Ukraine from East to 
>West (Lviv (west), Kiev (west), Donetsk(east)). Meetings that bring 
>together activists from various political persuasions and regions of 
>operation are in process.
>
>identity_makeup:
>The makeup of the collective incorporates supporters of the 
>\'russian-speaking\' and \'ukrainian-speaking\' sides of the political 
>spectrum, representing political groups from both sides of the recent 
>polarized conflict. These groups vary from social democrats to anarchists, 
>contain a more or less even proportion of men and women, and a variety of 
>religious and spiritual backgrounds from Christianity to Buddhism, to 
>secularism. People united in the collective share the one idea of linking 
>up with global activism, explorting/importing nonviolent 
>revolutionary/resistance tactics, maintaining an open internal forum on 
>the development of local activist groups, events, direct protest actions, 
>etc.
>
>steps_represent_diversity:
>As the collective takes solid form, delegations will be sent out to 
>various sectors of underrepresented Ukrainen to incorporate more groups 
>into the process, provide workshops, set-up political \'cafe\' centers for 
>distribution/screening of films, literature, info, event notice, etc.
>
>steps_involve_new_workfields:
>Regular meetings and workshop sessions will help share skills and provide 
>information. The gender issue doesn\'t appear as a problem at the moment, 
>as Ukraine holds a relatively egailtarian attitude to men and women\'s 
>labor division when it comes to organization groups and activist centers.
