(For those of you who don't know, we are a community of activist cartographers who use DIY tools for civic science -- we take aerial photos using kites and balloons of things like the BP oil spill.) Issue 3 is an in depth look at **community organizing in the Public Lab community**. The Grassroots Mapping Forum is printed on a two 22.75x35" sheets of acid-free paper folded down to just over letter size, and includes a full color reproduction of a grassroots map along with essays, illustrated guides, and interviews on the reverse. If you're interested in supporting our work, consider buying 3 or 4 and giving them to your friends. ##Issue #3 (spring 2013) (pictured above) [Order a copy »](http://store.publiclaboratory.org/products/grassroots-mapping-forum-issue-3) * A full color, wall-ready map of UC Davis during the Occupy protests with notes from the cartographer and mappers * An interview with citizen scientist organizer Cindy Regalado ([Shannon Dosemagen](/people/shannon)) * Protest Mapping ([Oscar Brett](/people/Oscar-Brett)) * Organizing Public Lab ([Shannon Dosemagen](/people/shannon)) * Open Sourcing Jerusalem?
