I Am Your Witness
I Am Your Witness collects first-hand witness accounts from mobile phones and rebroadcasts them for the public good.
Info from a Witness
A witness can submit photo or video, voice message or text. They can use flickr or youtube, twitter or email. Or they can simply make a phone call or send a text message to post their information online.
Rebroadcast to Strengthen Communities
This flexible system can be used by:
- activists at a protest
- workers building a union
- tenants fighting slumlords
- poor people of color who face racial profiling by the police.
Gathered in one place online, the testimony powerfully connects a witness to:
- victims
- advocates
- policy makers
- community organizers
- legal professionals.
It gives voice to a disempowered witness, support to a victim, and a tremendous resource to organizers and advocates.
