Yes! To achieve all of our growing aspirations we unfortunately need capital. To better pay staff, editors, contributors, maintain the locals and start news ones we need a steady flow of financial support.

Everyone hates talking about money. Everyone would rather be writing/editing/kicking corporate ass.

Still, next to paying contributors, building a base of sustainers/fundraising should be the top priority. I'd say harnessing some of the energy of each media co-op to have a huge indymedia fundraising event in their city (propaghandi show? N. Klein lectures? Doc-Festival?) would be a good focus.
