This great new campaign for the organisation Reporters Without Borders, Germany,
is showing the power of the tools of Reporters Without Borders, a organisation that fights for the freedom of press in countries like the Iran, Russia or Zimbabwe and all over the world.
Their written words are able to uncover governments’ criminal machinations and finally even cause their end. (more after the break)
I’m putting this up here because their cause is important (especially in a US election year) and it’s a timely message.
But seriously, FCKH8, don’t you think you could move on from the “outrageous GLBTQ people on plain background swearing and squealing at the camera” format? It makes all your videos (like this one and that one) look and sound the same.
Surely, you have the passion and creativity to move on to tell your story in an interesting and positive way. And I write this as an ally.
These BBDO campaign for Caritas against poverty launched this year with the slogan “Poverty leads to ill.” “Where is a lack of income, education and perspectives, disease is a frequent companion.” With this message Caritas wants to draw attention to the vulnerabilities and insufficient in German health system.
“Health is what every human being needs - including the poor. But their chances are slim. The loads are too great: No job, no money, no home ... Body and psyche often strike when they connect to the “normal life” loses. The charity is committed to ensuring that health care in Germany is independent of income and education.” this is the statement by President Monsignor Peter Neher, Caritas Germany and these are the thoughts of all of us.
The freezing temperatures in Europe claims over 400 lives. Many of those who died in the cold were homeless. Caritas provides as every year in many countries around the world at the beginning of the cold winter season, assistance to the needy, such as in Armenia, Russia or Ukraine, Afghanistan and Japan…
Translation: We have defeated the plague. We have overcome the smallpox. We have developed medicine against tuberculosis… and against typhoid. Only against the greatest pathogen is a medicine not enough ... against the poverty.
During the Jewish Holiday of Hanukkah, Latet (Hebrew for “to give"), a humanitarian aid organization, wanted to create a unique fundraising event.
In collaboration with Shaker, an app that turns Facebook into a virtual bar, Latet created a one-of-a-kind fundraising event– a street party inside Facebook.
Israeli celebs, who received special avatars, held live performances inside the virtual street party. In addition, users could chat and take pictures with them. Users that donated by texting received a virtual Latet T-shirt that showed everybody they had donated. The party self-promoted itself and reached 2 million unique users. Most importantly- Latet signed on 129 new volunteers.
Shaker is a Facebook application which essentially aims to turn Facebook into a virtual bar via a social game. It has won the Techcrunch disrupt startup contest 2011
According reports of the UN, violence against women is the biggest killer of women (Age 15-44 years). One form of violence against women is the so-called “honor killing”. Honor killings are a pre-Islamic practice that is not justified with the theology of Islam. They are characteristic of archaic tribal societies organized before particularly in the Middle East.
The honor killing is not only practiced in the Islamic context, however, is a special honor killings of accumulation observed in Islamic societies.
But such practices persist in Sikh and Hindu communities as well, and only a few decades ago, crimes were still committed in the name of honor in Mediterranean countries like Italy, Spain, Greece, and are still happening in Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro, in the eastern parts of Turkey…
India occupies a particularly prominent role. This video of International Campaign Against Honour Killings shows us the world where the crime is still happening, where the crime is part of tradition.
Canadian band Blurred Vision have teamed up with music legend Roger Waters to promote Amnesty International’s campaign against executions in Iran.
The group cover Waters’ Pink Floyd classic “Another Brick in The Wall (Part 2)” as the video shows a variety of activists demanding that Ayatollah Seyed Ali Hoseyni Khāmene’i stop sentencing political prisoners to death — including Canadian Saeed Malekpour, an Iranian-Canadian web designer condemned for “insulting Islam.”
The musicians (and AI) encourage supporters to sign the petition, share the video, and upload their own messages of “Hey Ayatollah Leave Those Kids Alone” to the campaign Facebook page. You can also buy the song at iTunes.
All I know is that when Roger Waters shouts, I listen. In abject terror.
Not a pretty ad, but legal language is usually drab. Nice use of a rainbow palette of highlighters to show the moment, captured in a newsletter of judgements by Brazil’s supreme court, when everything changed for gay couples in Brazil.
I recently had the privilege of being invited to speak and participate in the 2012 Design Ethos Conference/Do-ference at Savannah College of Art and Design. The creator of the conference, Scott Boylston, is a longtime friend in the relatively small socially conscious design community and I was delighted that…
Some things in life are easy. We know them, we think of them, we understand them. And then there are those phenomena we would rather not know about. All the bad things … murder, rape, child molestation. We try hard to look away, and most of the time we…
