hi everyone - i'm looking for Ushahidi
maps that were used in running a campaign around a proposed project with
environmental harm.
i'm trying to get a NGO here in toronto to
use the deployment i started - Great Lakes Commons Map - for their
campaign about a oil pipeline (Line 9 - tar sands oil - which is
actually also being worked on by a host of other citizen groups).
i'm trying to make the case for this NGO to use my deployment
(since it has many water threats) so that they can get more people
engaged in the campaign and spread the work around (typical NGO burnout
seems to be the norm).
as part of my pitch i'm looking for related deployments that
used place-based, collaborative, rich media tools to do public
education, engagement, and a campaign against a proposed threat.
suggestions, links, and comments welcomed.
