The Activista

“Today, journalists, citizens, and public advocates have no access to reliable data on incidents of street harassment and assault. By providing a platform for citizens to “hollaback” against street harassers, Hollaback!’s bottom-up, crowd-sourced reporting strategy creates a pipeline of data that can be used by advocates, media, and policymakers. This information will be available online at HollabackNYC.com and analyzed in an annual “State of our Streets” report. Hollaback! will leverage the success of HollabackNYC’s citizen journalists, who have been featured in over forty media outlets. The new Hollaback! will deliver otherwise un-reported news to the New York City community.”
