The document summarizes Alice, Naomi, and Grace's experience protesting to free Shaker Aamer from Guantanamo Bay. They researched the protest online, planned how to document it using various tools, and divided roles for the event. At the protest, they interviewed organizers, recorded chants and the surroundings, and compiled a significant amount of content across different media. While organization helped their documentation, they learned they should ensure enough storage and get more interviewee details next time.

FREE SHAKER AAMER PROTEST Alice, Naomi & Grace
Background We chose the Shaker Aamer protest on 29th October We chose it because it was the only event we could all go to
Pre Protest Research http://www.stopwar.org.uk/events/london-save-shaker-aamer-parliament- square-vigils-2 https://twitter.com/saveshaker http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/6-horrifying-facts-every- american-should-know-about-guantanamo-bay-and-ongoing http://www.reprieve.org.uk/cases/shakeraamer/ https://www.lush.co.uk/article/soapbox-save-shaker-aamer
Planning Ahead We made a Whatsapp group for communication Set up a Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram, Vine, and Bambuser so we could all post on one account Organised who brought what equipment Set a time and place to meet Looked up route and nearest Starbucks Practiced embedding on Tumblr
On the Day We arrived one hour before the protest was due to start We found a Wifi spot (Starbucks) We set up live blogging and checked it worked We decided wed all go to the protest We introduced ourselves and helped the protestors set up
Roles & Tasks Alice- Bambuser Naomi- Audioboom Grace-Vine We all took photos, tweeted and interviewed. We all tried every type of media as our main aim was to get as much content as possible not all of it made it onto the site but at least we had enough!
Tools Vine Instagram Bambuser Audioboom One camera Twitter Laptop (mac) Thinglink Timeline Flipagram
Protestors Protestors where easy to identify as most where wearing orange jumpsuits and black hoods Ray Silk was the Secretary of the Save Shaker Aamer campaign - http://saveshaker.org/save-shaker-aamer-campaign-demonstration-end-the-guantanamo- torture-olympics/186 He gave us a lot of information We filmed as much as possible: interviews, chants and surroundings

Naomi Twitter Audioboom Thinglink Instagram Interviews (including contacting Noel Hammel, Chairman of Kingston Peace Council, after the event
Grace Interviews Vine Instagram Other photos Bambuser Youtube Twitter Text- about me bio
Traffic Every social media posted was automatically tweeted. We also used twitter to promote out website
What worked well? Our organisation meant that we got to the event an hour earlier and could speak to the protesters and helped them set up The protesters were very happy to talk to us We collectively compiled a lot of content!
What didnt work well? We didnt ask every protesters name We had a lot of trouble making the layout of tumblr how we wanted it had to change to Weebly Our phones ran out of storage
What have we learned? We learnt that it is very beneficial to arrive at an event early That we should make sure we have enough storage on our phones We should find out as much information about the person we are interviewing as possible
