World Unrest Awareness Initiative
There are literally protests happening all over the world. Major news outlets don't cover most of what is going on, and when they do, we usually only get half of the story.
This is a callout to anyone that lives in a country of protest, visiting or happens to have researched what is going on, please share what you know.
Most of the people who do write about protests like in Hong Kong or Chile, get censored by platforms like Medium and YouTube. Here is another great win-win for humans + Steem.
Our next initiative is to raise awareness about the worldwide protest while promoting Steem to citizen journalists being censored.
@ocdb + I will be givng out upvotes to people who create content (anything, written/photo/video) about the protest happening around the world right now & do #posh (proof of sharing). As always, effort matters and post that show effort and provide value will receive the largest upvotes.
You can talk about the protest in any way you like, positive, negative, neutral, we just want to know what you know!
Rules: Create a post on Steem about a protest happening in any country around the world, bonus if you live in the current country and have first-hand experiences. Share your post to Twitter (bonus points for sharing to more socials.)
For example, if you're creating a post about the protest in Hong Kong, use the tags #HongKong & #HongKongProtests on both Steem & Twitter.
If you're making one about Chile, do #Chile + #ChileProtests. When you share to Twitter, put your Steem post link in your Tweet. Also, put your Tweet link in your Steem post.
Hong Kong is currently the most trending protest on Twitter.
On your Steem post use the tags #promo-steem & #posh (proof of sharing) to receive upvotes.
This is an ongoing effort, just use the tags #promo-steem & #posh + the name of the country you are covering on Steem, and I will find you, and I will upvote you.
Also, when you have some time, please check the Steem tag on Twitter, and throw some likes/comments on the posts shared for Steem as it helps us get more visibility: https://twitter.com/search?q=steem&src=typed_query (it won't cost you voting power ;)
This is an amazing way to raise awareness about happenings all over the world while raising awareness as well as to the existence of steem I believe this will be massive, however many people will write about events not happening in their country, do you permit this? I'll be supporting and sharing and commenting on Twitter cuz nothing major is happening in Nigeria
I beg to differ, something big is happening in Nigeria. The Senate have read the social media bill and hate speech bill twice. If those bills get passed into law, you could receive jail time, fines or death by hanging for the content you post on the internet.
Our evil and conniving politicians are systematically trying to shut the mouths of the common man because we've been exposing them.
There were protests all over the country two days ago and on social media, people are protesting everyday. Check my page for two videos I talked about it. Follow the tag #notosocialmediabill on Twitter as well.
Stay safe!
Solid initiative.
I live in an area of perpetual peace and safety compared to many places around the world. Doesn’t mean there are injustices but they are minor compared to so many others.
Let’s let the light shine on the virtues of this platform. Free speech and education are definitely among them.
Nice work again man. Great cause.

I'm always sharing what's happening and what was happening mainly in Syria and getting banned and blocked everywhere. Not everybody like to hear the real side of the story.

I come from Lebanon, protests started a bit over a month ago. Banks are now under a capital control, people can withdraw a very limited amount from their accounts.
This all happened because people were fed up with government corruption. Also, the debt was spiraling out of control and nothing productive was done with the money.
Good post and initiative. Looking forward to seeing posts of real protests.
This really amazing, another way of growing steem and making many feel good in steem.
Always supporting the steem community! Much appreciated man! 💯
