The 2006 Chicago Indymedia Year in Review

There's an old Broadway saying that it takes years to become an overnight success.

The saying also rings true for political activism in Chicago in 2006. Chicago saw the crystallization of prominent activist efforts — from the Festival of Rights on Michigan Avenue to the record-breaking immigrants rights protests on May Day and throughout the year.

Those prominent victories never happen overnight — they rely crucially on seldom recognized day-to-day educational efforts and organizing work over weeks, months, years — and thanks to the efforts of a great many political activists and concerned citizens.

For everyone who benefits from that work, those invisible efforts will sew the seeds of victories yet to come.

Chicago Indymedia has helped made that invisible work visible, providing a platform for coverage, announcements, commentary, organizing. We commemorate that work in the calendar year that just passed — the struggles, the successes, the tragedies, the triumphs — in Chicago Indymedia's 2006 Year In Review.

The coverage listed below, about 370 posts during calendar year 2006, are organized into twelve categories.

Civil Rights, Civil Liberties, and Human Rights
Education Organizing
Electoral Politics
Environment and Health Organizing
International Affairs and Immigrant Rights
LGBT Rights
Labor Organizing and Economic Justice
Media Democracy
Peace Organizing
