  Protest Page

The site is designed as a tool to help organizations, groups, and individuals exercise their first amendment rights.

What it does

Allows users to see which protests are going on around the country and also let's users create and publicize their own protest.

How I built it

I used React with D3.js and GSAP to create a neat data visualization showing the density of protests. Using US counties' topology data as well as my own dataset I was able to generate the map.

Challenges I ran into

Getting D3.js to work nicely with React and GSAP was frustrating.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Using D3.js for the first time and getting good results.

What's next for Rise Up

Make it more collaborative for people to engage with and create protests. Add custom routing for protests.
