About
We aim to push and arm people to take effective action by presenting them information based on evidence and scientific research in the most visible, concise, illustrative and vulgarized way.
The goal is to create, on a website, a very visual global organizational chart, classifying per main global domain of activism, all the topics concerned, and for each, presenting a contextualization of it, highlight of links (causes, consequences) and a list of practical solutions that are either day-to-day ones, possible to implement by anyone in the now or ones more designed as policies (all chosen carefully not to undermine another cause indirectly) and also a list of organizations that are the most active in that particular field (direct link to their donation page or agenda).
It's all going to be vulgarized, color-coded, identified by symbols and very visually presented. Also, it is the organisations that are going to create the content for the topic(s) that concern(s) them. The users will also be able to create a profile on the website, where they can list their domains of interest, the kind of tasks/actions they will be up to do, on their account they will also be able to save the data that interests them (so they can easily follow it), they can mark themselves as 'active' on some of the problems (so the number of active people will be tracked on the chart), have access to the organisations agenda etc…)
In short, the project is about creating a ‘big picture’ of things, about linking and creating connections between the different problems we're facing (showing how is one the cause or consequence of the other) and about tooling people with useful information to take action, more, and effectively.
We all are activists and the whole world has a great potential to bring over change, and if you want to help turn that potential to power, join us!
