MoveOn: Two Maps

“Stamen Design built some amazing Flash web pages for us that gave a real sense of ‘happening’ to our online campaigns. Reporters visited these online “anti-war rooms” and immediately understood the message we were trying to get across. And people were really impressed by the pure virtuosity of these web applications.”
–Wes Boyd, Director, Moveon.org
These are our initial two projects for MoveOn.org, one of the foremost political action groups in America. The first showed the contents of American phone calls to their senators in near-real time. The second displayed images from worldwide candlelight vigils as they came in, and comments that people had sent to the United Nations.
