#We_Are_All_Ayman_al-Dasooqi #كلنا_النقيب_أيمن_الدسوقى #Egypt
The Egyptian Government has been battling Islamic Militants in the Sinai Peninsula since Abdel Fattah al-Sisi deposed Mohammad Morsi in the summer of 2013. On October 24, 2014, 31 soldiers and police officers were killed in two Sinai attacks, the deadliest such attacks since the beginning of the insurgency. The group ‘Ansar Beit al-Muqdis’ took credit for the bombings.
In the latest episode from the Sinai, an off duty police captain, Ayman al-Dasooqi, was kidnapped and murdered by the group. Supporters of the military government in Egypt have taken to twitter to commemorate al-Dasooqi’s life.
Protestify: Egypt
Are you feeling limited to expand the impact of your videos and images when trying to show the world that is going on in Venezuela, Ukraine, Bahrain, Palestine? By using traditional social media channels such as Facebook, Bambuser, Tumblr, Twitter, Youtube and Instagram where only your friends and followers can watch what you post. Expand your impact, globalize your message, use #protestify when uploading your pictures or videos and we will expand the impact of your visuals and show the world your reality.
Major news outlets are falling behind on their coverage of global protests. What you see on the street of Turkey, Syria, Brasil, Egypt and Spain is being filtered or overlooked. Globalize your message through our network, share your reality with the world, expand the impact of your message. Be a citizen journalist by #protestify. Working together we can share the news.
PROTESTIFY
Please donate if you can and if you can't please reblog or help by hash tagging your protest visuals on Twitter!
Protestify is a new start up that frees journalists from the manual and uncertain process of finding breaking news through social media by organizing and curating public protest news. Our offer is microstock and data visualization.
With a strong built in viral element, our focus is on connecting those on the street with those in the newsroom. When a “citizen journalist” snaps a picture or a video during a protest, they will hashtag #protestify on Twitter and it will be then be sent straight to us. We reply with a link back to them with a copyright agreement. If a news agency buys their content, they will be compensated and recognized as a “citizen journalist.”
Creating a new value proposition in the field of news inherently has some risks and challenges. Our aim is to amplify the voices of protesters through visuals, a large portion of whom are unemployed youth all around the world, risking their lives (and phones) for social justice. When you're working to bring a concept to life, there are bound to be some hurdles that you'll have to overcome.
I've been working with Protestify and it's an amazing idea. The founder, Christina Hawatmeh, who is in the picture above, has set up a Kickstarter to help raise money. If you can donate anything that would be incredible but a reblog would also help! Please check it out!

Project of the Day—Protestify is an app that hopes to help streamline the link between citizen journalism and established news outlets. Take a picture of what you say, put a #protestify hashtag on it, and then the app will send you a copyright notice to sign, so your work is recognized as yours, and if it gets picked up, you'll be properly compensated. In addition, the app will offer data visualization based on the photos taken to help get information into the world.
