La Lutta New Media Collective (NMC), a non-profit, community-based organization, is a diverse group of people united to promote a greater level of social awareness through new media. Serving two critical roles, La Lutta is a vital resource for community empowerment. First, La Lutta offers new media technical assistance to non-profit, community and grassroots groups unable to incorporate appropriate technological strategies into their daily operations. Secondly, La Lutta is a production house for these groups as well as students, artists, and individuals who lack the proper forum for expression, creativity, and information sharing.

Through partnerships and collaboration, La Lutta brings together a wide range of individuals with new media skills to provide expertise for those who are committed to addressing various social issues, but do not have the resources, financial or otherwise, to successfully carry out their activities. We focus on education, visual and performing arts, and multimedia outreach activity.

History of La Lutta NMC

La Lutta NMC was founded in Brooklyn, New York on October 12, 1997 by Antonino D'Ambrosio and Kevin Ryan. Since then, we have grown from a small outfit of two to an organization of over forty active members. Along the way we have organized countless community events, hosted a variety of visual/performing arts shows, moderated university panels, worked with youth throughout the country, collaborated with over 3,000 organizations throughout the world, and became for many people the voice of alternative, independent new media. La Lutta NMC dedicates its work to the memory of Lorenzo D'Ambrosio (1941-1988).
