Welcome! CrowdVoice is a user-powered service that tracks voices of protest from around the world by crowdsourcing information

What is CrowdVoice?

  • About

    CrowdVoice is a user-powered service that tracks voices of protest from around the world by crowdsourcing information. Instead of checking news, video and social networking sites for updates on the issues that matter to you, get your fix in one place and join the crowd by adding information or approving what others already submitted.

  • People

    CrowdVoice is a project by MideastYouth.com, an independent grassroots network whose mission is to amplify diverse and progressive voices advocating for change throughout the Middle East and North Africa using digital media.

  • Funding

    CrowdVoice is entirely self-funded, and relies on donations of time and effort by dedicated volunteers. We welcome socially conscious investors worldwide.

  • Contact

    For more information, contact the founder Esra'a Al Shafei via director@mideastyouth.com
