Protesting during pandemic times

One Kilometer

---

During Israel's second lockdown, the parliament passed a bill to prevent citizens from protesting more than 1km from their homes. This happened right as a nation-wide protest movement had spread across the country.

1km.co.il was created to encourage citizens to protest in their neighborhoods, despite the undemocratic restrictions.

Over 20 contributors from various fields - developers, designers, project managers and social media specialists - made it possible for more than 250,000 people to find a protest near their home.
