FEATURED RESOURCES: Tactical Tech's 'Maps for Advocacy ' booklet
Recognising the power of maps, Tactical Tech has published a booklet - Maps for Advocacy - which is an introduction to Geographical Mapping Techniques.
The booklet is an effective guide to using maps in advocacy. The mapping process for advocacy is explained vividly through case studies, descriptions of procedures and methods, a review of data sources as well as a glossary of mapping terminology. Scattered through the booklet are links to websites which afford a glance at a few prolific mapping efforts.
The purpose of the booklet is to enable advocacy groups explore the potential of maps to effectively send out their message. It was written in collaboration with Sean O' Conner with the support of the Open Society Institute.

interTactica: Why Nonviolent Struggle?
How can this thing called "nonviolent action" work? Over the last 100 years, against seemingly insurmountable odds and always to the surprise of official analysts and media pundits, unarmed civilans have prevailed over the power and weapons of some of the world's worst human rights abusers and most brutal dictatorships. There's a long list, but highlights include the Shah of Iran, Poland 's Jaruzelski, Marcos in the Philippines , Pinochet in Chile , P.W. Botha and apartheid rule in South Africa , not to mention a few Soviet-style regimes behind the Berlin wall.
Now how did THAT happen?
Join Philippe in an experiment. He is aiming to put together a new, highly accessible and convincing resource to help explain HOW NONVIOLENT STRUGGLE WORKS. The goal is to refine and edit a dozen short pieces that will eventually form a single document, an educational tool on nonviolent action.
