Airsift is part of a larger research project called Citizen Sense, which investigates the relationship between technologies and practices of environmental sensing and citizen engagement.

Just Treatment is a patient-led organisation campaigning to ensure everyone has fair access to high quality healthcare.

We worked with them on their new NHS New Deal campaign. The campaign calls for proper funding for our NHS, support for doctors and nurses, and putting the health of patients above the interests of big corporations.

The website offers an entry point for people to get involved in their people-powered campaign. From there, Just Treatment organisers can connect with these people directly, suggest ways for them to take action and put pressure on politicians to meet their demands.

United Voices of the World is a grassroots trade union of low paid, migrant and precarious workers.

Since May 2020, we worked with them to establish a new digital system for their casework. The goal was to help improve their working processes and assist them in scaling up their operations.

The World Transformed is an annual political education festival. Due to coronavirus, they ran their month-long 2020 festival entirely online.

We supported them by converting their existing "read-only" website to be more interactive. This included building new functionality to enable attendees to log in and RSVP to events.

We also advised them on how to make the shift to a digital-first event, and contributed to their Brave New Digital World stream.

In collaboration with Robbie Blundell.

In collaboration with Michael Oswell and Ilyanna Kerr.

We updated the Vent Your Rent site to support Generation Rent's campaign to protect renters affected by coronavirus.

The new version of site asks renters to share details about their rental situation, in order to build an evidence base, raise the public profile of renters' issues and lobby policy-makers.

We plotted these stories on a map, to assure renters that they were not alone and that others near them were also struggling.

We worked with them to establish their brand identity, develop their website and set up their digital organising ecosystem.

We worked with London Renters Union on their Can’t Pay Won’t Pay campaign.

This campaign focussed on building renter power during the pandemic, identifying and providing support to those at risk of eviction, and lobbying local and national government to cancel rent debt and ban Section 21 evictions permanently.

Working within their existing technical architecture, we built two iterations of a custom tool that allowed people to join the campaign, understand their legal rights, find advice and resources to help them and read stories from other renters.

Common Knowledge interviewed a range of Labour Party staff, elected representatives and activist members as a contribution to the Labour Together 2019 election review, and contributed to editorial discussions between April and June.

Ahead of the 2019 General Election, we worked with the Digital Organising team of the Labour Party to improve disaster recovery of the systems they manage.

During the 2019 General Election, My Campaign Map helped people find canvassing sessions where they'd be most effective.

Activists could add their own events and explore a nationwide campaign map. It also found nearby travel options and training.

Movement is a prototype service for people who want to get involved in grassroots activism but don't know how.

We used off the shelf digital tools like WhatsApp to offer recommended first events. We facilitated conversations between first timers and organisers. Participants were grouped by shared interests or concerns so they could begin to organise themselves.
