Infoshop.org needs your help!  They are currently asking for donations to keep their service going.  From the site:

Even though Infoshop.org receives over 120,000 unique visitors a month and has been a major presence in independent media for over 13 years, our fund drives always have difficulty in fulfilling our meager donation requests. While other independent media websites with much less traffic seem to be able to magically arrive at sums in the tens of thousands, Infoshop.org survives (painfully) with a few thousand every year.

If you like independent media, and if you think that an activist and anarchist-centered news service is worth having, why not drop us a few dollars. If even half of our monthly visitors would donate 1 dollar (forget about appeals like 'buy us a beer,' we're talking about one dollar) we would be able to meet and exceed our fundraising expectations.

 

So get over there and donate!

If you are an anarchist, and not totally anti-civ, you have been drooling over the greek riots that are happening as i type. I have found a few resources on keeping up with the action.
