So long, PhillyIMC! (Updated) (And again)

PhillyIMC is now no more. For a long period, members of the group that maintained the site and contributed stories had been going off to do other things and moving on in their lives one by one. The real problem was that the Philadelphia Independent Media Center never came up with a way to recruit new members, so when people left, there was just one less member to do the work of maintaining the site.

Graphics for all workshop by Santiago Armengod

Mexican artist Santiago Armengod (Justseeds, Cordyceps, Escuela MArtires del 68) came to Philly in middle of August and presented a hands on workshop to build radical graphics with a low income budget. The intention of this workshop was to share skills with organizers that need to build skills and resources to support their struggles. Here are some pics from the event!!!
