You probably also know that in the last few years there have been a series of IMC servers been seized by the police. The first one was in 2004 when police seized a server in London. The following year, 2005, another server was seized in Bristol, and finally, more recently, on the 22nd of January 09 IMC-UK lost another server due to another police operation [Press Release].

The loss of a server represents a serious damage to the infrastructure of the indymedia project as well as the local grassroots social movements. On the other hand, such incidents can raise public attention to issues like civil liberties and free speech, data-retention laws and also to the work of alternative media projects. In any case, it is resource-intensive to replace a server both financially and time-wise, and that means we are in urgent need of your support to sustain our effort.

Please consider helping out with the running costs of IMC-UK by donating some money. A regular standing order can enormously help Indymedia – what it does and what it stands for – no matter how small the donation may be. Enough regular contributions will secure its financial viability and stability.
