Smartphones are transforming how communities document and resist injustice. Latino organizers are now livestreaming Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids and protests, using their phones as both shield and evidence.

How do you see the balance between safety and visibility in this era of citizen journalism? #TechForJustice #SmartphoneWitness #DigitalActivism #Tech
