Data Catalog

The creators of CountLove began crawling local newspaper and television sites to track protests and number of attendees since the first Women's March in 2017. They count public displays of protest that are not part of “regular business.” Protest entries include the following information: the date of the protest, attendees, the event type, metadata tags, and the source of protest information.

This is a collection of videos of police brutality against lawful protesters on Twitter. One user, @greg_doucette, originally started documenting incidents on his twitter thread and @jasonemiller curated the content onto a master Google Spreadsheet. Other efforts to document police brutality are also linked on spreadsheet, as well as print media stories writing about this project.

The Mass Mobilization (MM) data are an effort to understand citizen movements against governments, what citizens want when they demonstrate against governments, and how governments respond to citizens. The project codes protests against governments - the data cover 162 countries between 1990 and March 2017. For each protest event, the project records protester demands, government responses, protest location, and protester identities. The Principle Investigators for the Mass Mobilization project are David H. Clark (Binghamton University) and Patrick M. Regan (University of Notre Dame). The Mass Mobilization project is sponsored by the Political Instability Task Force (PITF). The PITF is funded by the Central Intelligence Agency.
