Technology and the Internet are changing democracy in America. Personal Democracy Forum is a hub for the exciting conversation underway between political professionals, technologists, and anyone else invigorated by the remarkable potential of technology to engage citizens in the democratic process.
Continuing with our map-happy coverage here at PDF, Will of onNYTurf, the man behind the Health Care That Works mashup that we covered yesterday, has produced another Google Maps mashup. This time Will overlaps data showing which New York City city councilors support or oppose proposed rules restricting the assembly of large groups of pedestrians and bicycle riders (it's particularly aimed at the group Critical Mass that organizes large-scale bike rides around the world).
The red areas denote councilors that support the rules; the councilors from blue areas oppose them. Pretty cool.
