After nearly nine years, Hartford IMC has decided to discontinue operations, as volunteers pursue other projects.  We would like to thank all of the contributors over the years who made our print publication, The Hartford Undercurrent, the website, and the radio show, RadioActive, such a huge success.  We would also like to thank all the readers/listeners who have supported us and hopefully have benefited from our work.  Finally, thanks to all of our guests and interviewees for working with us over the years.

While we haven’t ruled out the possibility of return, effective at the end of July 2011 HIMC will cease all operations.  The website will remain intact to preserve an archive of writings, and RadioActive MP3s.  Please feel free to peruse the body of work we have amassed here.  We are tremendously proud of what we accomplished, against many odds and always with a grassroots spirit and a commitment to the Hartford and central Connecticut areas.

Thank you for the years of support and participation.

Sincerely, HIMC volunteers
