Time to pull out an old friend of a tshirt to celebrate this network of humanitarians, civic tech, research, and business. It was the spark of so many ideas and friendships. Do you have your tshirt or a story to share? @CrisisMappers

On crisis mapping - why are maps of crises in the 'global south' more widespread? Who gets to define crises? Where are the maps of white supremist uprisings in the US @mapmakerdavid #DecolonizeTheMap #decolonize #osm
