the courage campaign's "Please don't divorce..." community photo project
Description: “Please don’t divorce…” is a community photo project put together by the Courage Campaign. The project contains hundreds of photos of same-sex and straight-ally couples who are voicing their opinions about Proposition 8. The passing of the proposition will nullify over 18,000 same-sex marriages in California.
Digital Activism Tools: Flickr
How These Tools Are Being Used: Over 500 people have taken photos of themselves holding signs with “Please don’t divorce us” or similar slogans. The photos are uploaded onto the Courage Campaign’s Flickr where they stream a slideshow of all the photos onto the action page on their website.
Outcomes: The project has gathered over 600 photos of people voicing their disagreement with Proposition 8. The project also puts a face on the thousands of couples in California who will be affected by Proposition 8.
