It's great if you are interested in being active in Indymedia – especially if you know what direction you can take. Here you can find an explanation of everything you can do with Indymedia.

The coordination/planning/work for Indymedia takes place primarily over email lists. These lists are separated into different themes and areas of work. The links under the topics below will take you to infopages where you can subscribe to individual lists. On the infopages you will also find links to the list archives. You can also read these archives to get an idea of what is discussed on each list.

The email traffic on some lists can be very sporadic – for a while there may be nothing and then during large campaigns etc. it can be very busy. So don't get irritated because of this.

In any case:

Have fun!

Great that you're here!
