Los Angeles Indymedia

The Los Angeles Independent Media Center is a non-commercial, democratic collective of Los Angeles area independent media makers and media outlets, and serves as the local organizing unit of the global Indymedia network.

Principles of Unity: Los Angeles Independent Media Center

We strive to provide an information infrastructure for people and opinions who do not have access to the airwaves, tools and resources of corporate media. This includes audio, video, photography, internet distribution and any other communication medium.

We support local, regional and global struggles against exploitation and oppression.

We function as a non-commercial, non-corporate, anti-capitalist collective.

Los Angeles Independent Media Center involves volunteer participants and allied collectives organized along anti-authoritarian principles of open and transparent decision-making processes, including open public meetings; a form of modified consensus; and the elimination of hierarchies.

Los Angeles Independent Media Center participants shall not act in a manner that endangers, intimidates, or physically harms any member of the group, including by sexual harassment or acts of violence. Indymedia members shall strive to act in a respectful manner to other members of the collective as well as the public.
