"Indymedia NewsReal" is a monthly joint project of Free SpeechTV (http://www.freespeech.org) and the Independent Media Center (http://www.indymedia.org/en/index.shtml ). It brings stories of progressive grassroots organizing, going on in backyards everywhere, to a national television audience. Each program covers actions taken in local communities, by ordinary people, to address critical issues like the war, air and water pollution, reproductive rights, homelessness, for-profit prisons, sweatshops, racism, police brutality, indigenous struggles, and more.

Seattle's PepperSpray Productions Video Collective contributes segments to the "NewsReal" Project. In addition, we do the dubbing/mailing of the finished "NewsReal" for community screeners each month. We also build the program's outreach by featuring the monthly "NewsReal" on "Indymedia Presents." pepperspray@riseup.net
