Blog: Take new tactics everywhere with mobiles
Image: From a PowerPoint presentation by Anneke Bosman, Amnesty International, The Netherlands.
In keeping with this blog’s mission to bring you concentrated nuggets of tactical and strategic information, we continue our exploration of new tactics involving the use of mobile phones. I draw my inspiration today from various posts and papers found mostly on the sites of resource people for our tactical discussion on using mobile phones for action.
My last post covered the emergence short messaging as a tool for protest organizing in various countries, including the Philippines, how Amnesty International set up its youth-based SMS Alert network, and how to find some protest ringtones. I now turn to some incredibly creative emergent uses of wireless communications for human rights and social change work.
Blog: Harnessing new technology for new tactics

This month’s tactical discussion focuses on using mobile phones for action. From the time the tactical notebook by Amnesty International on the use of short messaging services was published here in 2004, mobile phones have only become more powerful, multifunctional and almost universal. We can now record sound, photos, even video on our phones. The pocket devices can be used to send email, files, pictures, music, surf the web and chat, wherever we are, whenever we want.
In what ways can the power of the small computers we still call “phones” be harnessed as tools for collective action, as instruments for improving the world? What technology do we see emerging that could create innovative life-changing and life-saving tactics?
Blog: Reduce repression with self-accreditation
Columbus Igboanusi did not come to Slovakia from his native Nigeria to
set up an antiracist human rights organization. “I didn't understand
racism then. I hadn't experienced it in my country,” he says. That
changed the day he was assaulted and badly beaten by racist skinheads.
After hearing his experience was not unique among other African
students, he formed an organization of African students against racism.
That's when another reality hit him.
