Peoples Video Network
Greetings from PVN!
We are a group of media activists who video and audio podcast, produce and edit dvd's and videos about issues the corporate media will not touch. In our archives are hundreds of dvd's and videos documenting the struggle. We have sent correspondents to the Lacondon Jungle, Russia, Cuba, Korea, Puerto Rico, South Africa, and Iraq. Our goal is to break the information blockade of big business media.

Demand Justice for Katrina/Rita Evacuees in New York
Two days of protest in New York: Michael Bloomberg, New York's billionaire mayor who bought his second term in November 2005, hadn't planned on being confronted by nearly a hundred protesters during his extravagant inauguration on New Year's Day. But there they were, picketing on Broadway across from City Hall. Their 50-square-foot banner demanded justice for survivors of the hurricanes that devastated New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. A second, separate protest was at the Rainbow/Push Wall Street conference on Jan. 8 at the Sheraton Hotel.
