ON THE SHOW IN APRIL 2011:

We devote our April 2011 episode to our annual coverage of the antiwar protests in Chicago.

* CHICAGO PROTESTS EIGHT YEARS OF WAR

Our coverage of Chicago peace protests on the eighth anniversary of the ongoing Iraq war and occupation includes this overview of the protest -- and some answers to questions about why people mobilized and what's behind U.S. foreign policy.

* LEGAL VICTORY FOR CHICAGO PEACE PROTESTERS

Chicago peace activists recently won a major victory in federal court, when the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals argued that Chicago police were wrong to arrest hundreds of protesters on March 20, 2003 -- the day the US government began the Iraq war. We'll learn more about this important legal win in this segment.

* INTERVIEW WITH ACTIVIST ANDY THAYER ON WAR AND OCCUPATION

The same day peace activists marked the anniversary of the ongoing Iraq war, the US government launched ANOTHER war -- this time against Libya. We talked with peace activist Andy Thayer about the dynamics that drive US involvement in this conflict and others in the region.

* CHICAGO STANDS IN SOLIDARITY WITH PALESTINE

Chicago peace activists didn't just focus on Iraq, but also on a variety of causes related to U.S. foreign policy, including the longstanding issue of U.S. government support for the Israeli government and its war on the rights and lives of Palestinians. We'll see more in this segment.

WHO WE ARE:
We are the Chicago Indymedia Video Collective. We operate along the same lines as Indymedia, fostering the same ideals and processes. We are a collective of media producers, activists, videographers and concerned citizens offering your alternative to mainstream corporate coverage of local and international events, movements and expression. In the summer of 2003 the idea of an independent television show, free from corporate bias and serving the needs of the community, was conceived. Chicago Independent Television is the result of that movement.

Our mission is to provide YOUR CORPORATE NEWS ALTERNATIVE.

PLEASE JOIN US!
Our Video Collective meets at 7PM every 1st and 3rd Monday of the month.  We encourage individuals interested in contributing to the show to attend a meeting.  Note: We often change meeting venues, so please contact us for details if you want to attend a meeting.
