The next six months are crucial to the future of Independent Media in Urbana-Champaign. Please participate!
UC IMC Steering Group begins new meeting time, every Wednesday at 8pm at the IMC. |
Wednesday, Jan. 8 will be the first meeting of the Steering group at its new time of 8pm.
It is very important that all working groups of the UC IMC send at least one spoke to attend Steering group meetings. This simply hasn't been happening, for a variety of reasons. The change in meeting time is intended to make it easier for spokespeople from every group to attend.
Individual members of the IMC are also strongly urged to attend and participate.
The next few months of the IMC's history are very important. We will either raise enough money to be able to buy a building...or we will have to re-examine nearly everything we have come to build, know, and love about our IMC. It will take the efforts of a whole room full of people, on a sustained basis for the next six months, like the group that founded this IMC more than two years ago, to be able to accomplish this goal of making the IMC a very permanent part of our community.
In recent days, we have seen the loss of the Cityview, which offers both a lesson and an opportunity for the IMC. The effects of such a loss on our community point out just how precious a resource the IMC is. Buying a home for the IMC will both put it on a solid foundation for years to come and it will build the sort of institution that can take the loss of the Cityview and turn it into an opportunity for our community to take back -- and hold onto -- the media.
Please join us every Wednesday evening at 8pm to build community media at the IMC by attending the Steering group meeting or getting involved in the many other groups that make up the UC IMC.
