    Those who Become Indy 1000 Sustainers!

    Why You Should Become a Sustainer.

    The Indypendent is devoted to providing community-based, radical journalism. We accept limited advertising and hold occasional fundraisers, but receive no corporate sponsorship, have an all-volunteer staff and give away our paper for free on the street corners of New York. Without sustainer support from people who want to see an alternative, radical media project continue to provide the award-winning journalism we have become known for, we wouldn't be able to continue publishing.

    Becoming a sustainer takes next to no effort, just a few dollars a month and a trip to our website - http://www.indypendent.org/donate/indypendent.html

About me:

..

The Indypendent is the leading alternative newspaper in New York City. We provide original independent in-depth, hard-hitting reporting on local, national and international news and commentary to our print and online readership of more than 100,000. The newspaper is a labor of love by a network of volunteers who do all of the reporting, photography, illustration, editing, design and distribution. Since 2000, more than 600 citizen journalists, artists and media activists have contributed their time and energy to this project. The newspaper is predominately funded by individual supporters and ad sales to progressive local businesses and organizations. We have won dozens of awards from the New York Community Media Alliance — and pride ourselves on providing a forum for the hundreds of social and environmental justice groups working on the issues that we report on. As the newspaper of the New York Independent Media Center, we are dedicated to empowering people to create a true alternative to corporate press by stepping up to become the media. The Indypendent is affiliated with the global Indymedia movement (indymedia.org), an international network that is dedicated to fostering grassroots media production. The New York Independent Media Center sponsors three other projects, the children’s newspaper IndyKids, the IndyVideo news team and the NYC Indymedia open publishing website (nyc.indymedia.org). To donate to help support The Indypendent, visit: www.indypendent.org/donate

Who I'd like to meet:

A billionaire whose ill-gotten capitalist gains are forcing a late-in-life crisis of morality that can only be solved by dispersing his entire fortune as quickly (and unconditionally) as possible to fledgling but sophisticated alternative media experiments aimed at undoing the grievous wrongs perpetuated by global media conglomerates and the capitalist systems for which they function.

Anyone who wants to assuage their guilty consciences by contributing $10+ dollars a month to making the world a better place, i.e. donating to the Indypendent.

Subscribers are pretty great too.

Also - George W. Bush, his cabinet, the entire Pentagon, Defense Department and CIA, Congress... Okay, pretty much anyone in power that we can speak truth to.

Anyone who wants to spend 2-12 hours a week standing in subway portals meeting strangers and incidentally, helping inform them of our world.

Anyone who's just trying to figure things out.

Anyone with a story.

    THE CANARY EFFECT EXCLUSIVE CLIP - COLUMBUS DAY

  • Jan 29 2009 5:51 AM

    In early October I wrote one of my latest songs called, “Wall Street Bail Out Blues.” Within four days of writing it, a video crew captured me playing it on the street at Seattle’s Pike Place Market and posted their video on YouTube. That video has now reached the attention of a writer for The Wall Street Journal who is writing an article about those who have written songs about our tough economic times. His article will be published this week and I’m excited to read it.


    Who knows where this might lead? Call me an optimist but I have a feeling that this could mean that a few more seconds of that elusive fifteen minutes of fame might be coming my way.


    It ain’t the cover of the Rolling Stone but it’s not every day that a writer from a major worldwide news outlet seeks me out to talk to me about my songwriting. That’s a huge validation of my efforts at staying true to my vision. I must be doing something right.


    Follow your dreams.

    NYC Thurs 3-27 Indigenous Music/Arts/Film Benefit Owe Aku
    NYC Thurs 3-27 Indigenous Music, Art, Film Benefit at IAC 55 West 17th Street 5th Floor (5C) between 5th & 6th Avenues (Manhattan/NYC) for Owe Aku

    Owe Aku ( “bring back the way”) works to preserve and revitalize the Lakota (Sioux) way of life. Our ancient identity guides us in our work and contributes to the preservation of the Earth. We promote and protect our land, treaty and human rights. Recently, tragedy struck when the home and office of our leaders, Debra and Alex White Plume, burned to the ground in the middle of the South Dakota winter. The family and the organization moves forward and we are once again turning to our friends and allies for help.



    Thursday's multimedia program will consist of: presentations on Owe Aku’s work with Hemp (clips from the film Standing Silent Nation), Owe Aku’s efforts to preserve sacred sites (clips from a film on Bear Butte), an update on Owe Aku’s historic anti-uranium mining case, the progress towards rebuilding, sale of beautiful photographs from Owe Aku’s homeland and daily life by Malcolm MacKinnon, and Music by Matou: Indigenous musicians performing original compositions celebrating indigenous cultural strength, perpetuation of tradition, and expression of a love for nature.

    The music is an eclectic fusion of Native American and powerful traditional Maori chants

    For examples of the photographs for the silent auction go to www. nativeamericanphotography. com.

    We've now had 5 years of lies about Iraq: 9/11, WMD's, freedom.
    The real reasons were oil, profiteering, fascism.
    Not just Bush, but the news media, most of congress, and all who remain silent.
    And now they'll use fear to quash dissent.
    It's nothing new -- it's been going on for ages.
    War, poverty, ecocide, arrogant bullying --they're all from greed and fear, which come from ignorance.
    ♥ But it's not too late -- we can still learn to make peace.
    Talk with people.
    Love, Eric

    Dear Magazine Man friends,

    I have recently photographed a campaign for the City of New York.


    GET SOME... NYC Condoms.


    A TV, Radio, Internet, Magazine, Newspapper and Billboard campaign probably are known for you who live here in the city. If you haven't seen it.
    You can check it out in my profile http://www. myspace. com/magazineslist

    The rebels search each other out. They walk toward one another.

    They find each other and together they break other fences.

    In the countryside and cities, in the states, in the nations, on the continents, the rebels begin to recognize each other, to know themselves as equals and different. They continue on their fatiguing walk as it is now necessary to walk, that is to say, struggling...

    Thanks for being our friend.


    Cost of Freedom: The Anthology of Peace and Activism is out now, and stuffed with photos, artwork, poetry and stories from American progressive movements.


    Noam Chomsky says Cost of Freedom "should inspire many more to join in these efforts to create a powerful force of concerned citizens that cannot be ignored.
    "

    Ramsey Clark calls Cost of Freedom "a powerful cry for peace.
    "

    Ralph Nader says it will "stir you to join with other patriots for democractic actions and restorations.
    "

    A portion of the proceeds benefit small, local activist groups across the US.


    Help us take back our country.

    On Tuesday, the FCC pushed through new rules that will unleash a flood of media consolidation across America.

    The rules will further consolidate local media markets -- taking away independent voices in cities already woefully short on local news and investigative journalism.


    We need 100,000 people to get Congress to reverse the FCC's rules right now.
