Mapping Islamophobia: Visualizing Islamophobia And Its Effects
Mapping Islamophobia: Visualizing Islamophobia And Its Effects is a research collaborative collecting comprehensive data on events of islamophobia nationwide to quantify the impact of islamophobia in communities. This projects takes data as far back as 2008 and plots the collected data into two maps, Reporting Islamophobia and Countering Islamophobia, allowing their users to experience a interactive way to see the islamophobia events that have already occurred. The Reporting Islamophobia map shows the accumulation of Islamophobic events and incidents from 2008-2018, indicating when and where spikes of activity occur. The Countering Islamophobia map illustrates how American Muslim communities have responded to the increasing presence of anti-Muslim hostility in American public life over time. Each dot on this map represents something that American Muslim individuals and American Muslim communities have done to counter anti-Muslim attitudes and activity. As for the similarities between the two projects, both of them take data and inject that into maps. Both projects use the same company and mapping system to create their maps too, that company being CARTO.

Campaign ZERO
Campaign ZERO is a data-informed platform that presents comprehensive solutions to end police violence in America. It integrates community demands and policy recommendations from research organizations and President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing. Campaign ZERO was developed with contributions from activists, protesters and researchers across the nation. The website features reports that provide information about existing policies in U.S. cities and the areas where new policies are needed to end police violence. The similarities between the two projects begin with sharing the same three co founders for both projects, DeRay Mckesson, Samuel Sinyangwe, and Brittany Packnett. The two projects both share the same core focus, police violence, and both include important data on police violence. Examples of the important data both websites include are how many people die yearly due to police violence. The one difference between the two projects is that Mapping Police Violence takes all kinds of violence including killing and crimes, while Campaign ZERO only researches and includes data on police killing. If you have any questions about Campaign Zero you can visit the Planning Team page to get in touch with the members.
