Indymedia UK (link to UK site) has been running since May Day 2000, and in the last year, a number of sub-national Indymedia groups have begun launching their own sites to cover local issues and feed into the UK and global network. Since February 2003, a Leeds collective has been working to set up a Leeds Independent Media Centre (IMC) and an Indymedia website to cover local events. And after much sweat, blood and tears, here we are!

Leeds Indymedia is an open-publishing platform for news, issues, actions and analysis reporting on grassroots, non-corporate, non-commercial, social justice, environmental and political issues. We have our own site within the UK network so that we can cooperate effectively with the IMCs that exist or are forming in Bristol, Lancaster, London, Manchester, Oxford, Scotland, Sheffield, and Wales.

Here's how you can get involved
