Groups and Contacts
Indymedia UK was a network of groups and volunteers across the country. It split in two on May 1 2011, and this site is one of the fragments from that split. The collective that runs this site is usually known as the Mayday Collective.
You can get in touch with local groups and project subgroups, or check out the general lists, where the entire UK network is listening.
Please be aware that most lists are publicly archived, which means that anyone can read your mail online.

Getting involved
If you want to get involved but this page isn't helping much in making up your mind, check out Getting Involved at global Indymedia. If you register to the page, a trust-worthy person (probably one of us :-) will contact you privately and try to give a better idea.

If you don't want your mail being read online, mail to imc-uk-contact at lists.indymedia.org. Your mail then goes to a privately archived list, only volunteers of imc-uk can read it online.

Postings to publicly archived lists can be found through a search engine (like google) very easily. Try this google search to see how google indexes list archives.
