Google Fusion Tables is an online application that allows users to present datasets visually in maps, charts, plots or timelines.  Fusion Tables are an easy and fast way to display large amounts of data visually on the web.

As an activist, Fusion Tables can allow us to use public data or data gather through our own research and share it widely.  The visual displays and maps can be embedded and shared on many websites — you can even share your Fusion Table datasets with others if you like.  It has many features that make it my primary choice for mapping or visualizing data, including using multiple datasets and easily importing data.

Here are links to Fusion Tables that I have developed:
• Activist, DIY and Collective Spaces in North America
• Social Justice and Sustainability Initiatives and Groups on Canadian Post-Secondary Campuses
