Jai Sawkar – Looking Outwards 8

Deray McKesson & Samuel Sinyangwe have backgrounds as American civil rights activists; more specifically, they have a large voice in the Black Lives Matter movement. The piece presented is in an effort to attain a solution that addresses the sustained rise in police violence in America.

Their work is very interesting and respectable to be, as this is a hot topic in politics now, and is a sweeping movement across America. It has come to the point that when pulled over by police, many citizens are now scared for their lives rather than a simple speeding ticket they may face. I beleive the work they are doing in an effort to spread the information of protests, along with representing the news of police violence are crucial stepping stones in order to bring a possible solution to this. Moreover, their works follow key design principles to allow their ideas to be straightforward and easy to understand. I believe there is great work happening with McKesson & Singyangwe, and it refreshing to see citizens using design and computational practice for the greater good rather than commercial good.
