Colombia: Twitter Solidarity with Victims of Rainy Season · Global Voices
Julián Ortega Martínez

Colombian Twitter users have joined to support the victims of this year's heavy rainy season, which has affected at least 1.5 million people. Twitteratón [es] started on December 8 as an event in Medellín [es] to collect donations for the victims, prompting similar events in other cities like Bogotá (12/ 11), Barranquilla [es] (12/11), Pasto [es] (12/12), and Cali [es] (12/19 [es]). A virtual auction [es] of works by illustrators, photographers, and artists is also on the works.
