This is the main repository for the core website of the Lucy Parsons Labs.
The Lucy Parsons Labs is a Chicago-based collaboration between data scientists, transparency activists, and technologists which focuses on the intersection of digital rights and on-the-streets issues. The core group is made up of data scientists, sysadmins, artists, and activists with a goal of merging these issues into a functional non-profit.
Our members have a variety of projects and collaborations in the works. Some examples we have include open FOIA projects into police spending, data analysis projects in Python, and some of our members have spoken at hacker conferences. We also support the Tor network, give trainings on security culture and enjoy mixing with journalists.
We are a transparency non-profit that seeks to engage our community in a horizontal manner while organizing around digital rights issues, supporting free and open source projects and seeking the free flow of information globally.
It's a reasonably simply jekyll site. You'll want to get a modern version of Ruby installed, via rbenv or rvm if you prefer. You should gem install bundler of some variety if you haven't already, and bundle install will provide the versions of Rake and Jekyll that this project currently uses. From there, rake dev will start a local env that you can reach at http://localhost:4000/ with any changes you wish to test. To deploy to the website, you need access to our S3 bucket.
Our website art was created using pxlsrt, a Ruby gem. For more information, see the style guide.
