Hi, Product Hunt! 👋🏻 We are hundreds of thousands of citizens from Tsunami Democràtic (@tsunami_dem) based in Catalonia. We're excited to start sharing this first version of our Android App and getting your feedback. While technology has made our lives easier and more manageable in many ways, it is just in the last couple of years that we have seen its impact in helping citizens organize protests around causes to achieve change faster. Looking at hundreds of campaigns over the last century, Erica Chenoweth, a political scientist at Harvard University, found that nonviolent campaigns are twice as likely to achieve their goals as violent campaigns. She has shown that it takes around 3.5% of the population actively participating in the protests to ensure serious political change. Over the past few months, we’ve been building a set of civic technology tools to empower citizens to organize more efficiently and achieve change faster. This week we’ve launched and tested the first version of our Android app. It has successfully helped tens of thousands of Catalans to protest by blocking the Pyrenees border highway with concerts, dinners, and camps. Join us as we build and test #civictech in Catalonia to empower its citizens to protest peacefully and effectively towards change. Happy to answer any questions you might have!

Taking advantage of technology and the network limitless resources to protest against injustices in a non-violent way. There are some things that must be changed regarding users privacy, for example. And why not make it open source? But the idea behind is brilliant. Power to the people! ... be water my friend

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this product, specially as a decentralization advocate. Complete lack of transparency combined with a potentially massive mobilization power. No source code available and users should grant location and mic permission. All collected data can be then used by an unknown group of administrators providing them instructions about the actions they have to carry out. In practice, a tool to build a human botnet... very scary

I would. It makes the organisation of our demonstrations quicker, well coordinated, flexible and more efficient. A great app.

New tech for new era of peaceful human rights protests. It was a matter of time that tech would be central to stop injustice.

Just a right tool. One that is simple to use and reliable. It combines the best of it cience and the old mouth to mouth safety spreading within the community that is build for. Very, very excited by what the near future holds for us.

When the violence of the establishment and old-fashioned states is used sistematically against citizens that only claim to apply basic human rights, then you are morally obliged to stand up and react. If not you are following a path to XXIst century slavery and oblivion. Tsunami is a technology and a tool to raise non-violently in defense of human rights

The goverment controls people even using laws to record our movements, so it’s great having an encrypted app to coordinate our paceful and civic actions.

Hi, I used the application, it has been very useful. When I left I was informed of the different actions that were carried out in other places. I am waiting for new actions. Thank you for making it possible

While Spain is just able to use police force against democratic aspirations, technology is helping people to organize themselves against repression and persecution.

Tsunami Democratic app is the best way to force spaniah fascist state to sit and talk! Spanish represion against disidence was heavier everytime! This app helps us to organize pacific and effective protests against repression!

Great App! It's very useful and it let you to recieve messatges quickly. It's important because spanish state spies our activity in Internet and could close Webs, APPs or whatever they think contains information that are not same believes of the spanish goverment

I like the app but I haven't been able to use it since I live in Malaga and I never got the QR code 😔

This is a state of the art platform that is devised to combine face to face as well as online user interaction. What is most amazing about it for me is that while Tsunami aims to social transformation, it also creates a human net based on interpersonal trust and empathy in defense of human and pitical rights. So, what you share on it with other users has local and global impact both. Each user is a drop, all users are the Tsunami.

Tsunami democràtic is an app that combines face to face interaction with an online shared working style in defense of fundamental rights. Each user is a drop, all users together (thousands of us in Catalonia and in other countries) are the Tsunami. This type of application operates based on human trust and one to one contact, since you can operate it only by obtaining a qr code from somebody tou trust. Humanizing grassroots politics and organizations is the best way to neywork against fascist policies of states such as Spain, that seem so foreign to XXIst century values of constructive dialogue and negotiation. Spain, sit and talk or the Tsunami will go on!

This is a great communication tool for being aware of important international and catalan political news. It's also a proactive app against nondemocratic countries acts

Best app ever to empower people against an entire state repression where a political discussion is banned from a fake democracy.

Any soul who wants to be free in a peaceful way needs tools which are out of governments control and/or censorship. Such is the case with our catalan nation. We need the social movement and the app "Tsunami Democràtic" (@tsunami_dem) for our minds not to be controlled by the polytical establishment.

tsunami app is a good way to organize a massive peaceful civil desobedience protests against fascist spanish repression!
