A-Infos (en) US, Ways you can get involved in hacking the border!

Hey everyone!! So things are coming along with borderHack 2005. We have a
date set for the big week - August 3-7th - with camps and forums, media
labs and much more, on the border. The website is up
www.deletetheborder.org, and soon to be www.borderhack.org also. Sadly,
there couldn’t be a better time for Borderhack. This summer will be
explosive and we must drown out the racists with our struggles for justice
in border communities, and an honest conversation about globalization and
migration. The minutemen are coming to California if you hadn’t heard. We
have been talking to all of you about the event and lots of people are
excited. For a little more info and hopefully some inspiration we are
working on the first borderhack 2005 communique which we hope to put out
soon.

We would like to set up several committees to bottom-line some of these
activities. This is a very open, democratic process, so please feel
welcome to jump in and help hack the border. We only ask you to read the
communiqué, and check out the PGA hallmarks that we organize under. That
is just so that we are kind of on the same page and have some points of
unity. We need lots of help, and I think everyone realizes the importance
of this work at this time in history. And hopefully, some of these
activities can take a life of their own.

Here are some of the proposed committees. And people are welcome to
propose others. Future meetings will be posted here in the calendar
section.

Committees:

-Planning for the week of, i.e. schedule of activities, speakers,
workshops, forums, marches/rallies etc.
-Fundraising (we need to raise a few thousand dollars in the next two
months) -Benefit show concert/event planning (this could be part of the
fundraising committee)
-Design crew (we need t-shirts, posters, stickers, etc. designed and made)
-Tech crew (a big part of borderhack is digital art, web-based work, etc.)
-Tactical Media team (setting up the media lab for live radio, live video,
photo editing, imc posting, etc.)
-Corporate media team (nasty but necessary, working seriously to get our
story out)
-Camp planning (camp infrastructure for hundreds of people)

If you're interested in getting involved in organizing borderHack, email
lotu5@resist.ca with an introduction of yourself and we can add you to our
organizer list.
