Protest Maps

Nick Danforth, Georgetown University


This is a map posted on Facebook by Kader Sevinc of cities where demonstrations have taken place over the past week. "The work of a few radicals??" Kader asks. Maps, as many of our posts show, have always been used for propaganda, and we are delighted to share some propaganda for a good cause. 

Another mapping project that is currently in its infancy but could turn into a valuable resource is https://istanbulviolence.crowdmap.com/ Unlike some other collective mapping projects, it tries to sort news reports of developments and violence according to their level of reliability.
