Online Activism

I recently wrote a petition on Change.org calling on PredictIt to settle election prediction markets as the election in my estimation was 99.9% over and I felt that prediction markets should do timely settlement of markets. As by refusing to settle an election market, they are encouraging people to doubt that the election is over and this promotes conspiracy theories.

Justice Map is finished and ready for public use!

Features include

This map is insanely good

Income, race, education, health, political participation and more -- all presented in a user friendly format.

The only downside is that their smallest area is a Congressional District. They should have done zip codes! More work, but so much more logical.

We have over 80 users of our Energy Justice Community Map project and the website is picking up speed!

If you care about the planet and the people who live on it, you might consider getting involved in the grassroots movement to stop global warming and the pollution caused by power plants and dirty waste facilities.

While governments fail to take anywhere near sufficient action, my guess is that in 10-20 years we are going to see tens of thousands of people blockading and occupying power plants. It might look like the return of the Civil Rights movement or something totally different.

We do not know what a non-Neutral Internet would look like. It might
actually benefit most activist or nonprofit organizations. Here is how that *might* happen...
