BETA 0.3: Tools and maps

Thirty tools to explore who can act on a public problem, which laws apply, whether the bodies you need are working, which reforms and public promises need following up, which economic interests and political ties are recorded, which foreign states and international bodies are involved, who is working for change, from organisations to unions and universities, and where people can meet and organise. The Lebanon Network Map puts every dataset on one map. Save any map as an image, free to reuse with credit under CC BY 4.0.

Nothing you do here is saved. Before the data loads, an invisible Cloudflare check confirms a person is using the page; the street map in Civic spaces loads from an outside map service only if you switch it on.Use these tools to build a campaign →

Take the next step

Turn what you find into a campaign.

Start with the question you need to answer. Find who has the power to act and whether that body is working, check the law it rests on, look at the interests and political ties recorded around the decision, and find people already working on the issue. Then take it to the campaign dashboard to choose a route, calculate deadlines and follow the decision through to implementation.

The Path of Least Resistance

The guide, the campaign dashboard, route companions, worksheets and printable resources connect evidence and organised public pressure to a formal step, and help you follow the result through to implementation.
