[If you've read all this already, jump straight to the form!]

Been to a hot protest? Got a big idea to share with other activists? Want to show off your photos of an event? Got audio or video that people just have to see?

This is the place to put it. We want to hear your story. Use any format you want, from journalistic, to academic, to personal rant.

But please use this form to contribute new stories and ideas. We think comments belong with the story being discussed. So to have your say in response to a story on the site, please use the add your comments link at the bottom of the stories.

We think stories contributed to this site should be free for non-profit re-use. If you want to change that for your story, please give your conditions in the summary.

how to use this form

You can use this form to publish your text article, audio segment, video footage, or picture. Please focus on activism issues and events. We (the people organising this site) may rearrange the display of submitted stories.

For multimedia stories, if you need help converting your sounds or video to a digital file, consult our tutorial page.

After stories have been published, they can be edited, linked or even deleted by the collective running this site, using the story administration page (password required). . We have a lot of respect for people publishing on our site, so we generally only use these features to fix obvious mistakes, such as typos in a web address; or a duplicate copy of a story. Very rarely, someone abuses our trust, and posts a story that is way outside what the website is set up to do, and we may remove it. We are working on the technology to make this process more transparent, so that you can see when such decisions have been made, and why. In future, we want our audience to be part of this process too.

We like to link related stories, so that they appear grouped together on the summaries pages. This can be used display together:

• a bunch of sound bites from the same event
• a picture with a text rant about the same thing
• a lower quality realaudio file with a higher quality (but slower to transfer) MP3 audio clip for radio stations to re-broadcast
• a video in realvideo with a freeze frame picture
• a group of text stories about the same issue

Remember:

• please post news items only, leave your comments for discussion areas
• please try to post just one copy of your story - please only press the publish button once.
