Eyeo 2015 – Deray Mckesson and Samuel Sinyangwe

Mapping Police Violence – In the wake of Ferguson, police and elected officials demonstrated a shocking inability to provide the public with the information needed to fully understand police violence in America. We didn’t know where police violence was happening, how police were targeting people by race or ethnicity, or whether police violence was rising or falling over time. Activists from Ferguson, San Francisco and Minneapolis decided to answer these questions using crowd-sourced data. Their work, MappingPoliceViolence.org, demonstrates in jarring visuals that Ferguson is everywhere – and black people are most at risk of being killed by the police.
